Has the person who originally put the proposal forward forgotten there is a pay-and-display (largely unused) car park in William Street, just off Dean Road, and the comments made about the Dean Road area?

Who is going to pay parking charges if they can park free for three hours?

The Dean Road area is already a free three-hour car parking zone the only people who pay to park their cars in the Dean Road area and roads leading off are residents.

Anyone else just sticks a parking disc in their car window and wanders off for three hours while
residents play the game of "find a parking space in your own street".

So, congratulations to councillors who opposed the idea. They seem to be the only ones aware of conditions in the Dean Road area and roads leading from it.

The idea of free parking (even of limited duration) in areas where residents pay for the privilege of parking their vehicles appears to defy all forms of logic.
