I WRITE in response to the recent letter by Councillor Geoffrey Theobald regarding the Preston Park Station area parking scheme (Letters, December 17). I am amazed at his response.
As a resident of Tivoli Road I stated in my original consultation that displacement would be a severe problem if the scheme was implemented.
When I leave my home in the morning, I am met by train passengers touring the area looking for parking places in roads adjacent to the scheme where they do not have to pay.
When I return in the evening I have to park up to 400 yards from my home.
The present scheme is an unmitigated disaster and Councillor Theobald should respond more constructively than to say we should give the scheme “a few more months to see how it settles down”.
It is plain the scheme is not working and needs a radical and fundamental rethink.
