Parking Strategy Review Consultation  

We wish to draw residents’ attention to a Borough wide review of parking policies. It is aimed at addressing parking problems in some areas and increasing parking revenue in others.

Westminster Park residents may wish to look at the proposed removal of the “FREE AFTER THREE“ arrangements as a way to increase revenue or Charge for Disabled Badge holders…
