I have today handed over a named petition signed by 1504 local residents
to Cllr Jon Gilbey, IWC The petition calls for the IWC to reconsider
its published plans to withdraw the free half hour parking.
1200 names and addresses were signed on sheets left with retailers in Freshwater, and 304 from the online petition website change.org, with comments. The comments on the sheets, and the comments fed back showed very strong feelings about the withdrawal of the free half hour, which is used extensively by:
a) Drivers dropping-off and picking-up infirm patients to the doctors' surgery
b) People picking up pre-ordered prescriptions
c) Parents dropping-off and picking-up from the kindergarten
d) Parents setting down and picking up children from the school
e) Short term parking for people buying essentials in the local shops
Cllr Gilbey stressed that the consultation period will continue until Friday 6th June, 1200pm when all objections must have been received. The 'new' Parking Places Order No 1 2014 should be considered as a discussion document rather than a firm plan.
