Permit Parking - Have you returned your completed consultation paper?

The deadline is Wednesday 27th May before this has to be returned to Wellingborough Council.

Don’t forget, even if you do not wish to purchase a permit, (or have no need ie you may have a drive, private parking) – you can still vote For the scheme if you believe it is a good idea.

The idea is to stop commuters using our very valuable space outside our homes as free car parks.

If you haven’t already returned your form, please do so before the deadline.

Thanking you in advance.

keep the comments comming

Hello badpeg/ Martin/ Palk Road Resident/ Dave/ Martin/ Getridofcommuters et al

It's good to see so many comments... As you know I am all for the residents parking. I am willing to pay that little bit extra so that I can park somewhere near my house and not be "done" by the parking wardens. I believe I'm doing this for the benefit of the local residents. This is my opinion you are all entitled to your own. I don't appologise for this. I do appologise for not responding sooner. To put it bluntly I was organising my Nans funeral. However I am back now. I haven't given up on this!! I am just off to go to another meeting regarding this.

Keep the comments coming good or bad :-)
