Local City Councillors Sandra Rudd and Janet Black recently attended a meeting with residents of Lorne Street, organised by County Councillor Peter Byrne, who was seeking their views on parking in Lorne Street.

At present, residents are often unable to park in the cul-de-sac because of vehicles parked by owners working or shopping in the city centre.

There was general agreement that a Residents' Parking Scheme was needed, and Peter has asked for it to be included on the agenda at the next Highways Local Joint Committee which takes place at Chester Town Hall on Thursday 4th October 2007.

After the meeting with residents, Peter commented:

"We were all very sympathetic to the residents' concerns about parking in Lorne Street, and we are hopeful that a Residents' Parking Scheme can be set up in the not too distant future."

Are there any other areas in Chester which need Residents' Parking Schemes?
