Parking changes Submission

Submission

Which parking changes proposal would like to comment on
North Road Yellow Lines

Do you support or oppose the proposed changes?
I/We oppose the proposed changes

What is your feedback on the proposed changes
Respectfully: Your changes will remove all on-street parking for 521 North Road which has been there for 30+ years and was purchased 10 months ago by my daughter. The property was purchased on the understanding, and at a price point that reflected, that parking was permitted at the house. I understand the need for safety - I do not understand the timing of this decision. If the yellow lines were in place last year, my daughter would not have purchased that home, at that price. If yellow lines are installed, I would anticipate the council will work with my daughter to find a parking solution - perhaps adding a 'crossing' at the footpath outside her home and widening the paved area so that 2 cars can be parked off the road, parallel to the road, in the top area of her property. It is incredibly difficult for young people to buy their own homes these days and I would anticipate, due to the 30-year delay in placing these yellow lines in situ, the council would work in good faith to ensure my daughter is not negatively financially impacted. Thank you.
