Objection to controlled parking in Nunhead

Dear residents of Nunhead,

I am sure you have received the letter from Southwark regarding added controlled parking to Nunhead. If you are against this planned implementation of parking restrictions please use the following email to object at [email protected]  cc [email protected]

Dear sir/madam,

I am writing to express my concerns about the proposal for parking-controlled zones in Nunhead. As a resident of this area, I believe that this measure seems unnecessary and inconvenient. It will only add to the financial burden of residents who are already experiencing a cost-of-living crisis.

While I understand the importance of regulating parking in busy areas, I don't believe it is difficult in our area. Moreover, the introduction of parking permits can make things worse for locals. This is especially true when considering the risk of hefty fines for parking in the wrong area. I feel that there should be a more equitable solution that doesn't unfairly penalise residents who are just trying to go about their daily lives.

It's unfortunate that the introduction of these zones was decided without first seeking residents' input through a biased questionnaire, which did not ask the question of whether residents wanted the introduction of controlled parking zones in Nunhead. I think the Southwark Council need to reissue this questionnaire to the residents of Nunhead asking if they wish for this measure to be taken.

I hope that you will take my concerns into consideration and work to find a solution that benefits everyone in the community.

Yours faithfully,
