Proposed changes to parking controls in Croydon

After the residents and businesses of Croydon successfully fought the first proposals to change the parking restrictions, Croydon Council are now trying to push through dramatic changes to the existing zoned parking arrangements for Central Zone as follows:

7am to midnight, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!!

This not only affects Central, but will affect the bordering zones with displacement parking.

Please think how this will affect not only your own parking but for your visitors and customers. ALL the residents we have spoken to think this is outrageous.

The official way to object is by writing to:
Order Making Section,
Parking and Technical Services,
1st Floor, Davis House,
Robert Street,
Croyon, CR0 1QQ
Quote Reference to be advised

Please be aware that signing a petition is NOT enough - a petition counts as one objection only, even if everyone in Croydon signs it, whereas each letter received by the council counts as one objection each - so please write in by the 9th October 2002!!!

There appear to be many people getting petitions together and delivering flyers in their street - if you are one of these people or know who one is please get in contact with us. We want to get everyone co-ordinated against this.

(This site has NO political affiliations whatsoever. It has been built by very concerned residents of Croydon. If you want to help out please get in touch.)

Croydon parking - Council are barking

Croydon council have decided to put up the cost of residents permits and, rather more importantly to extend the parking restriction times from 9am-5pm to 7am-7pm inclusive of Sundays. Allegedly this is in line with the Mayors public transport initiative. My arse. Its simply a way to get more money from the residents.
