My objection is given below:
I wish to register my
objection to the scheme proposed for Yarm High Street on the following
grounds:
The research done prior to drawing up the
scheme has a fundamental flaw in that it did not look into the current pattern
of use of the existing spaces. As a result any estimate of the impact of
charging can only be a guess. There is no estimate of the potential impact on
the surrounding areas such as Egglescliffe Village, Butts Lane, St Margaret's
estate, South View and The Crescent in Eaglescliffe ward which I represent.
These areas already suffer some displaced parking owing to there being
insufficient long stay parking in Yarm centre.
There is no confirmed provision of extra
Long Stay parking in this scheme yet the current Long Stay provision on Yarm
High Street would be removed, making it very likely that this would be displaced
into Eaglescliffe ward areas detailed above as well as areas south of Yarm High
St.
Although residents of parts of Eaglescliffe
were included in the original leaflet consultation some years ago there has been
no further consultation with the residents of the areas most likely to suffer
from the charges, nor any consultation with the ward councillors other than that
which has applied to all SBC councillors.
