Can we have an update please!
Dear Councillor Garaint Hopkins and Powys County Council Officers Phil Jackson and Kevin Lloyd
I hope you will recall the meeting held at Powys County Council Headquarters Offices on Tuesday 11th October last year between a representative of CRAP, (The Campaign for a Responsible Approach to Parking) Councillor Gareth Ratcliffe (Powys County Councillor for Hay-on-Wye) and yourselves, Councillor Geraint Hopkins and Powys County Council Officers Phil Jackson and Kevin Lloyd.
The meeting, originally planned for September, was the campaign’s opportunity to present CRAP’s proposals for Traffic flow, safety and parking in Hay-on-Wye, the culmination of some six months work to determine public reaction in Hay-on-Wye to existing parking restrictions and explore local ideas for the best approach to the town’s particular needs.
At the meeting, we were pleased to receive your assurance that our proposals would receive your consideration and you will recall that you promised to respond to us in detail by the beginning of December.
Since that time, although we have received no direct communication from you, we understand that you informed Councillor Gareth Ratcliffe that you would be unable to respond to us by the promised date, but instead would come back to us in January.
It is now almost the end of January and our campaign has rather been overtaken by Plan B for Hay’s campaign against the imposition of a supermarket on the present school site in Hay. We understand from the campaign however that parking remains a very important and contentious issue for traders, residents and visitors to the town.
More than three months have passed since our meeting and we would be most grateful if you could provide us with an update of the present situation. If you intend to ignore our proposals, we should similarly like to know.
Your planned ‘consolidation order’ scheduled for April 1st 2012, the first anniversary of the council taking over responsibility for Civil Parking Enforcement is fast approaching, as are elections for both the town and county councils. We are publicising this letter on our blog and distributing it to various interested parties.
We look forward to the courtesy of your responding to this email.

The town centre Car Park in Winter
No matter the weather, or the time of year; our car park just isn't man enough for the job!
Hay-on-Wye Oxford Street car park Thursday 22nd December, it's busy, hopefully that's an indication of how our shops are doing, despite Powys County Council's refusal to grant free parking in the lead up to Christmas.
Let us hope the current councillors, or those voted into power to replace them in the local elections in May 2012, will do everythng to encourage visitors and local trade.

Christmas Lights in Hay - Will they still be shining next year?
Hay-on-Wye by Night. Powys County Council, please don't destroy our town.

West End parking fees are madness, Mary Portas tells No 10
From the (London ) Evening Standard - Tuesday 12th December
New parking charges in the West End are to be branded "sheer madness" in a report ordered by David Cameron.
TV retail expert Mary Portas, who has led a government-commissioned review into saving high streets, will issue the starkest warning yet against Westminster council's plan for new evening and weekend levies.
The Evening Standard understands that her report, to be published tomorrow, will even suggest that the new parking regime is being introduced "under the pretence" of tackling congestion when it is in fact to raise money - which could be unlawful.
"In central London, for example, much has been made of the decision to penalise those wishing to shop out of hours by imposing additional parking restrictions on the pretence that late-night traffic needs to be managed," the report is expected to say. "This is just sheer madness and the only upside I can see is extra revenues generated for the council."
The damning report comes as cash-strapped Westminster unveiled a public services revolution to save millions of pounds, floating a raft of controversial changes to benefits, libraries, keeping the streets clean, as well as new licensing and tourism levies.

The Portas Review
An Independent Review into the Future of our High Streets
The following list is a summary of my 28 recommendations:
1. Put in place a “Town Team”: a visionary, strategic and strong operational management team for high streets
2. Empower successful Business Improvement Districts to take on more responsibilities and powers and become “Super-BIDs”
3. Legislate to allow landlords to become high street investors by contributing to their Business Improvement District
4. Establish a new “National Market Day” where budding shopkeepers can try their hand at operating a low-cost retail business
5. Make it easier for people to become market traders by removing unnecessary regulations so that anyone can trade on the high street unless there is a valid reason why not
6. Government should consider whether business rates can better support small businesses and independent retailers
7. Local authorities should use their new discretionary powers to give business rate concessions to new local businesses
8. Make business rates work for business by reviewing the use of the RPI with a view to changing the calculation to CPI
9. Local areas should implement free controlled parking schemes that work for their town centres and we should have a new parking league table
10. Town Teams should focus on making high streets accessible, attractive and safe
11. Government should include high street deregulation as part of their ongoing work on freeing up red tape
12. Address the restrictive aspects of the ‘Use Class’ system to make it easier to change the uses of key properties on the high street
13. Put betting shops into a separate ‘Use Class’ of their own
14. Make explicit a presumption in favour of town centre development in the wording of the National Planning Policy Framework
15. Introduce Secretary of State “exceptional sign off ” for all new out-of-town developments and require all large new developments to have an “affordable shops” quota
16. Large retailers should support and mentor local businesses and independent retailers
17. Retailers should report on their support of local high streets in their annual report
18. Encourage a contract of care between landlords and their commercial tenants by promoting the leasing code and supporting the use of lease structures other than upward only rent reviews, especially for small businesses
19. Explore further disincentives to prevent landlords from leaving units vacant
20. Banks who own empty property on the high street should either administer these assets well or be required to sell them
21. Local authorities should make more proactive use of Compulsory Purchase Order powers to encourage the redevelopment of key high street retail space
22. Empower local authorities to step in when landlords are negligent with new “Empty Shop Management Orders”
23. Introduce a public register of high street landlords
24. Run a high profile campaign to get people involved in Neighbourhood Plans
25. Promote the inclusion of the High Street in Neighbourhood Plans
26. Developers should make a financial contribution to ensure that the local community has a strong voice in the planning system
27. Support imaginative community use of empty properties through Community Right to Buy, Meanwhile Use and a new “Community Right to Try”
28. Run a number of High Street Pilots to test proof of concept
Well done Mary !

Snippits
Heaven Help Us
On Armistice Day, 11th November, our vicar Father Richard (Seen mostly accompanied by the curate ‘Jimmy’ his Standard Poodle) was running late to conduct the Remembrance Service. In haste, and probably in error, Father Richard parked his car in Castle Street, returning just one hour and fifteen minutes later - to find it ticketed.
Apparently Father Richard’s appeal to the Council against the ticket fell on deaf ears.
It’s a little humbling to realise that our Civil Enforcement Officers endeavour to carry out their duties to the letter, whatever the event and irrespective of the circumstances.
Who was it who said the law can be an ass?
“Yes they were”, “No they weren’t”, “Yes they were!”
Another fruitful discussion held with council officers. Last Saturday there were two Civil Enforcemnt Officers (sorry it’s too boring – I’ll just call them traffic wardens, everyone else does!) in Hay. Yes there were!
Sorry, No there weren’t. Two traffic wardens were on rota to be on duty in south Powys, one in Hay and one in Brecon, so there can’t have been two in Hay!
Yes they were; and the tickets they issued prove it.
Are they on commission?
Overheard
Poor Councillor Gareth Ratcliffe doesn’t seem to be flavour of the month at the moment. Ever since the prospect of a new supermarket raised its ugly head in Hay – and became almost the sole topic of conversation in the town, Gareth Ratcliffe, as ward councillor for Hay-on-Wye has tried to follow a non-committal course trying as best he can to represent both pro and anti supermarket. Almost inevitably this has enamoured him to neither side and he has been the undeserved recipient of snide comments, disparaging asides and even vilification.
We know someone who is apparently pleased at this turn of events. One of our much admired Parking Wardens was overheard to say “At least he won’t be around after the elections in May”
All we know is that Councillor Ratcliffe has worked tirelessly for the community and has always been a strong supporter of our campaign.

It's really crap news from Powys County Council
Oh dear Councillor Geraint Hopkins and Council Officers Phil Jackson and Kevin Lloyd, you’ve broken your word!
Perhaps it was too good to be true but at our meeting at Powys County Council’s offices at Llandrindod Wells on Tuesday 11th October at which we presented CRAP’s ideas for a county wide approach to car parking and traffic management, Councillor Geraint Hopkins (Powys County Council Cabinet Member and Portfolio Holder Environment and Regulation, responsible for Traffic and Parking) together with Phil Jackson, (Powys Transportation and Development Control Manager) and Kevin Lloyd (Powys Car Parks Manager) promised “to respond to the campaign’s proposals in detail by the beginning of December.”
Unfortunately Councillor Gareth Ratcliffe, Hay-on-Wye’s local councillor and an enthusiastic supporter of the CRAP campaign, reports that he has been told that Councillor Hopkins and the officers will be unable to respond as promised in December – but “will do so in the New Year” !
We shall see – words are cheap and it is about time that councillors making promises should be held accountable when they break their word!
REMEMBER Council elections are getting closer. We should use our votes to elect candidates who are hard-working, reliable, honest and KEEP THEIR WORD

What About The Rest of Wales?
Which Welsh Councils issue Residents’ Parking Permits and at what cost?
We thought it would be interesting to find out how many Welsh Councils have taken over Civil Parking Enforcement responsibilities from the police; which have provided designated Residents’ Parking Zones, how many issue Residents Parking Permits and at what costs?
It seems the results are very different throughout the country and although our survey is not complete, it does give some indication of the levels of enforcement and charges currently being levied.
We are very concerned that Powys County Council do not impose any exorbitant charges when (and if) they introduce Residents’ Parking Permits. Any charges must reflect the costs of the scheme’s administration but not charged at a rate which will be regarded as untoward and prohibitive by those affected. Councillors should remember that 2012 is an election year!
Discussions with officers responsible for parking in councils all over Wales have proved illuminating. Some authorities have gone to considerable lengths to produce carefully thought out schemes that cater for residents’ demands; others have muddled along or merely inherited historic rules.
It was interesting to note that in Blaenau Gwent, it was considered more important that Civil Enforcement Officers should be responsible for policing the ever present problem of dog fouling rather than car parking.
Communications between the various authorities and some commonality could be to the advantage of all!
In passing, it has been reported that free parking in council run Car Parks has been introduced by various councils in Wales for a variety of reasons, and some only in the lead up to Christmas. Most are convinced however that free car parking will give a “boost to businesses in town centres”. It is interesting to note that the opinion that the presence of and levels of car parking charges have a direct effect on people's shopping preferences, seems to be a 'taken'.
Well done Llanelli, Wrexham, Newport, Caerphilly and Gwynedd. A black mark against Carmarthen which is planning to introduce parking meters to the town centre, a plan bitterly opposed by local businesses.
