Issue - meetings

A petition has been received in the following terms:

“I oppose the plans by Labour councillors in Brent to increase the cost of visitor parking to £4.50 per day. This rise is unfair and unjustified.”

Petition received

Mr Paul Lorber (local resident) addressed the Cabinet presenting a petition against proposals for the on-street parking service offer and charges in controlled parking zones.

Mr Lorber said that the proposed increase in charges would hit residents’ pockets and in addition to that, would affect the environment as residents would seek to concrete over their front gardens to avoid paying parking charges.

In response to Mr Lorber, Cllr Butt reminded him of the financial restrictions placed on local authorities in relation to parking revenue.
