Which parking changes proposal would like to comment on
491 Portobello Rd
Do you support or oppose the proposed changes?
I/We oppose the proposed changes
What is your feedback on the proposed changes
I totally oppose the proposal to remove 10 min parking at Portobello Rd for a number of reasons;
1. It is directly in front of my store, Artifolk, and will directly impact my customers ability to park and support my small business
2. It is the only limited parking in front of the Primary School where parents can safely drop off and pick up their children
without being on the main thoroughfare of Portobello Rd
3. Customers from the thriving Duck cafe use these parks frequently for takeaway coffee
Presently there is very limited parking (a few in front of the dairy)
In very busy times/ weekends/events it is very hard for people to park for a short time to support the businesses/school in this thriving community
Many people park in driveways, yellow lines etc for these small errands when there is no short term parking available.
As these parks aren't monitored anyway, what is the harm in keeping the status quo as a gentle reminder for people to use these parks for short term parking only.
I would like to know why there is a need to remove these parks that benefit so many at present.
There is plenty of unrestricted parking in the surrounding area for longer term parking.
