Dear Residents’ Association,

I am sending you a message on parking in the Borough following the Council’s Cabinet meeting in July when it was agreed to carry out a period of public consultation on Croydon’s new Draft Parking Policy.

The consultation is now commencing and will last for over five weeks, concluding on 31 October.

As part of the consultation we are hosting a series of drop-in sessions at a variety of libraries and at a variety of times of day across the borough. The events are listed at the bottom of this email and you are welcome to attend and encourage any interested constituents to attend any of the events.

We also have a Get Involved online survey and consultation page where residents and partners are able to read a copy of the draft policy and provide their feedback via the survey questionnaire. The webpage has further information including, the Cabinet papers, and FAQs but any queries or requests for hardcopies of the survey can be directed to our email address parking.design@croydon.gov.uk .

Consultation will be immensely valuable in gathering views and help us to refine the Draft Parking Policy before it is finalised later this year. I would encourage anyone interested to read the policy and visit the consultation page to provide their feedback.

The web address for our Get Involved page is https://news.croydon.gov.uk/have-your-say-on-croydons-new-parking-strategy/

We will be undertaking ten public drop-in sessions where local residents and businesses are invited to obtain further information and provide feedback. The drop-in sessions have been scheduled on the following dates/locations:

Wednesday 27 Sept10 to 12.30pmCentral Library
Thursday 28 Sept12 to 2.30pmSouth Norwood Library

Tuesday 24 Oct10 to 12.30pmCoulsdon Library

If you can forward this information to your residents then this will help in maximising the responses to the questionnaire and help to guide the new parking policy for the Borough.
