The solution is to have a limited number of paid parking places in Perry Vale car park to keep a flow of people who use the local shops through the day, and the majority of the spaces should be free.


Completely disagree. This penalises people who use FH shops by making them pay while those who just clog up our roads to save money on their rail fares or too lazy to walk to the station are encouraged with free parking.

The car parks would be more used, and shops in FH benefit, if a longer free parking time of 2 hours were introduced. The present half hour only allows a very short shop, and simply encourages use of the big supermarkets like Bell Green Sainsbury's with their own car park.


I think the two proposals can work together. Free parking for two hours for a limited number of spaces (plus the car park behind Sainsburys and limited stay on Dartmouth Road). But for a number of spaces they should be usable by the commuters all day for free. This has to be better than them parking on all the surrounding streets or penalising local residents with a ?65 CPZ.

A 1 hour no parking zone would prevent residents leaving their cars outside their houses as well as commuters and again punishes local residents for the actions of others.
