Not everyone is happy, yet nothing will change any time soon either
Businesses in Lincoln’s Bailgate are “delighted” and “elated” after planned resident parking changes were dropped by the council at the eleventh hour.Lincolnshire County Council on Monday voted to drop two proposals for changes to the permit scheme along the Bailgate, which would have increased residents parking, but decreased the amount available to shoppers.
“I just feel for all the businesses and all our customers who supported us and have been behind us all the way through this.” She said casual shoppers and visitors would have been most affected along with those who were less mobile. She claims having spaces on the street deterred people from going to out-of-town facilities.“We had so much support… far ranging, all from the bottom of Steep Hill to Newport.” They included a 7,000 signature petition.
However, Carholme Councillor Rob Parker, whose ward covers part of the area affected, said residents would be “disappointed” by the decision. He said there would need to be “some form of review” in the future and that he, along with residents, would be examining whether another case could be brought with more evidence “to show how much residents are affected by not being able to park close to their own homes.”
“Both the residents and businesses have put forward strong points of view… I believe it’s not a good time to move things forward,” he said.
