After requests from residents, the caretaker and West Village Residents group, parking restrictions were drawn up for West Village and the consultation recently ended. The response was mixed so a reduced set of restrictions will be going to Traffic Management Sub-Committee on Wednesday. Here they are:
Residents were concerned that the original plan would reduce the number of parking spaces available, especially were garages are too small to be used. This reduced scheme addresses the concerns raised but also makes the area safer and more accessible.
As a larger scheme was originally advertised this reduced scheme does not need to be advertised again. This saves time and will enable Reading Borough Council to start making the streets of West Village safer if the plans are approved.
