An email from James Gibson-Watt in reaction to our call to publicise our petition.
Dear all,
Although the idea of a petition is OK, the problem is that we do not need a county-wide review of traffic management and residents' parking schemes, as there are no residents' parking schemes anywhere in Powys (other than small off-street residents' parking areas in a few places) and the only place where there is consistent high parking pressure is Hay-on-Wye.
We need a review focused on Hay immediately and no tightening of enforcement until a residents' scheme is in place. Visitors and residents in Hay are furious about this and we need action now, not starting in September after the tourist season is finished. It should be straightforward for the County Council to adopt a common-sense approach until a residents scheme is in place, since the ground work for that scheme was done about 5 years ago when I was Hay's county councillor.
James Gibson-Watt
