Latest news about the Residents Parking Scheme

Report from ARERA’s acting chair, Ros Lund, and secretary, Lucy Edgeley, about 3rd July meeting with Ian Manning about the Residents Parking Scheme The preparations with road markings, signs etc. for the scheme will take place during July. Our Lib Dem councillors, Ian Manning (County Council) and Jamie Dalzell (City Council) will be writing to residents explaining the scheme and how to make your views known during the initial 6-month review period via the website – provide as much information as you can with dates, times and photos. Residents of both sides of Arbury Road are encouraged to use the website for feedback once the scheme is up and running. During the setting up period you may contact Ian Manning with any immediate/urgent problems via his CCC email (Ian.Manning@cambridgeshire.gov.uk) so he can speak to the relevant officer and ensure the appropriate action is taken. The contractors are expected to take a common-sense approach to marking the parking bays, enabling residents who have parking on their own driveways or front gardens to do so. The scheme will run from 9.30 am -3 pm on weekdays to match the scheme at Ascham Road etc which we shall be part of. At other times, parking will be free as at present but only in marked bays. Residents of Arbury Road on the odd-numbered side of the road with no parking on their own driveway or front garden will be able to purchase up to 3 annual permits per household and visitor permits if required. If you have any questions or concerns, please email Ian Manning on Ian.Manning@cambridgeshire.gov.ukand cc. your email to ARERA at info@arera.org.uk
