T5NYW Posted August 29, 2016 Report Posted August 29, 2016 HiThe EDGAR street grid are planning to remove over 55% of or off street paking when the EDGAR street grid takes place.During the day we have 10 parking places but from 6pm-9am we have a further 11-12 places. Ideal for the workers coming home.They want to make Prior street be two way for bikes and we loose 11 spaces.Where are are the residents going to park when Edgar street park closes where are those people park the cars??! Anywhere there isn't a double yellow line.Tony
Colin James Posted August 29, 2016 Report Posted August 29, 2016 First of all welcome to Hereford Voice! Have the residents complained about this to anyone or their local Councillor Tony?
twowheelsgood Posted August 29, 2016 Report Posted August 29, 2016 First port of call is definitely the ward councillor - Polly Andrews? - nothing will happen/change without their support. Have you seen any concrete proposals or been consulted about this or is it hearsay? Establish the facts, put together cohesive reasons to argue against the parts you don't like, meet your Councillor and present them in such a way as to gain her support. By the way, the Edgar Street Grid is long dead and buried - it is the Council managing the Merton Meadow/Link Road debacle.
T5NYW Posted August 30, 2016 Author Report Posted August 30, 2016 Yes I've seen the two purposed plans at the last consultations. Meeting at Hereford United. I was shown to plans. This is due adding a filter lane. And pedestrians crossing to the me road. Plan 1 meant than on evenings and weekends the legal parking places would reduce from 22 to 10 car places Tony Plan 22 down to 11 places.
