Vonny Watts Begins Petition Against Parking.

Residents in Ranmoor, part of the Fulwood Ward, are furious about the congestion to their roads as a result of the decision to get rid of the Car Park at Notre Dame. No alternative has been provided and Riverdale Road, Tapton Park Road and Ranmoor Park Road are three key residential roads clogged completely between the hours of 8am and 4pm on weekdays with the cars and vans of teachers, contractors and visitors to the school. Complaints have been made to the council who have responded only with calls for patience until planned parking regulations are put in place. The regualtions are also unpopular. They include double yellow lines. Residents know that these will simply push traffic to other parts of the same roads. The problem will not be eased, only moved.

Vonny Watts, the candidate in Fulwood, has begun a petition to try to force the council to find alternative parking. A tract of land directly opposite the school is for sale and could easily, and sensibly, be utilised for this purpose.

If you would like to sign the petition please contact Vonny on 07912492160.
