Granville Parade / Castle Road Parking Update

The news is... there is no news.

The proposals for a Sandgate Granville Parade / Castle Road CPZ with 2 hour parking restriction for those without a permit (8am-8pm every day of the year) was opposed by a huge number of local residents, your Lib Dem team, businesses and Sandgate Parish Council.

The formal consulation held by Shepway District Council on the scheme received hundreds of objections (we know, having handed in many of them ourselves!) and apparently very few comments in support.

Since the close of that consultation, we have heard no more: no publication of the outcome of the consultation, no attempt to progress the scheme, no formal cancellation of the scheme: nothing.

The scheme was originally proposed to be enacted in mid-June: as soon as we hear more, we'll let you know...
