The current K1 CPZ is NOT working for a number of streets within the zone. As a resident of Stuart Road, I am frustrated to be paying for a permit when frequently I can’t park on my street, or on one of the adjacent streets - Newburgh and Derwentwater at ANY time of the day. More often than not I have to drive back onto Horn Lane and park in a side street 5-10 minutes walk from where I live. Close to what the council describes as the "Town Centre", Stuart Rd is used for parking by shoppers, market traders (with their large vans and lorries), estate agents, faith congregations and by people visiting local restaurants and pubs. Goodness knows what it will be like when the Oaks development opens and drivers decide they don't want to pay for parking in the car park. If some of the lucky people who live in streets within the proposed K2 zone don't feel they have a problem parking, please don't scupper the chances of my street having an all day permit. Perhaps you could instead suggest that the new zone K2 should be smaller and focus on those streets at the Horn Lane end of Churchfield Rd.
