From today residents can purchase the newly relaunched Parking Permit. Unlike it's £75 predecessor entitlement will only be for those residents living within 200m of certain car parks. Please note Park Road Car Park is no longer operated by the IW Council, so cannot be used. If you are entitled to this permit please note that it cannot be used until 1st January 2011. Alternatively the £500 permit remains available for use in all Council Long Stay Car Parks.
Apologies for residents who expected a little more than this when the article appeared in October's Beacon. As far as I am concerned a conditional Permit is better than no permit and although I would prefer to see the £150 permit having no conditions, I hope Councillors will think again since revenue was not as it was anticipated. (The Independent Group, predicted this when setting their budget earlier this year)
In the meantime, I have just been appointed to the Council's Economy, Environment and Transport Scrutiny Committee so hope to be much more hands on, on this in the coming months.
