“It is claimed that existing residents regularly struggle to find parking spaces and are sometimes required to park on neighbouring streets. Reference is also made to vehicles parking on double yellow lines and receiving enforcement notices due to limited parking availability.”

“Concerns are raised regarding the potential impact on emergency and service vehicle access, particularly given the proximity of the fire station opposite Railway Street and the need to maintain unobstructed access for emergency vehicles at all times. • Some representations state that many local residents work late shifts or as taxi drivers and rely heavily on private vehicles, increasing demand for parking during evening and overnight hours.”
