Responding to the recent decision by Cheshire East Council to refer the decision on car-parking charges to their Scrutiny Panel, Dr Peter Hirst, Liberal democrat Parliamentary Spokesperson for Congleton repeats his call for maintaining some free parking.
Dear Sir,
Dear Sir,
Cheriton and Folkestone West Councillor Tim Prater has received a promise from Kent County Council to deal with road safety problems at the junction of Weymouth Road and Langdon Road in Cheriton. The pledge comes after Tim Prater raised problem parking at the site with Kent Highways after being approached by a local resident.
Local Development Framework's sound like exactly the sort of document you should go out of your way to avoid, but in the case of Shepway, it's suddenly a big issue for a number of areas, including Cheriton. The Framework (LDF) is basically the Council's "plan" on where developments could happen over the next 18 years in the area, and indicates where they would allow them if an application was made. It doesn't mean any proposal made WILL happen, but makes it more likely that it could.
A full council meeting at Bedford Borough Council last night endorsed the Liberal Democrats' call for the Council to pledge that it will not take part in any pilot schemes for the national ID Card and that local residents will not be required to hold an ID card in order to access council services.
