Beach Road, Sea Palling. NO FURTHER PARKING RESTRICTIONS!!

Please note: You do not have to make a donation to sign this petition.

The Sea Palling and Waxham Parish Council on behalf of a number of parishioners, are petitioning to extend the parking restrictions in Beach Road, Sea Palling. Parking is currently not allowed between 1 May and 30 September. The Parish Council have made two proposals i.e. to extend the parking restriction from 1 May back to 1 March (two additional months) and also make the parking restrictions permanent – ALL YEAR. The latter will mean that the restrictions are permanent and not seasonal.

The Parish Council petition offers signatories two options i.e. partial or full extension of the parking restrictions. If signatories chose option 2 (all year round parking restrictions), they by definition agree to option 1 (2 month extension).

The justification is "safety". No data has been provided to justify how "unsafe" the current position is or information on how "legal" i.e. Blue Badge parking will be restricted. The current Traffic Restriction Order (TRO) allows Blue Badge holders to park at ANY TIME OF YEAR. The proposal will therefore not prevent legal parking in Beach Road and by definition, not achieve its objective.

Significantly, there is no rationale on how the extension of the parking restrictions will reduce congestion in Beach Road. The Parish Council appear to have ignored the impact the access to the 1000 space car park has on congestion. All cars entering and leaving the car park have to use a single track road. At peak times the road is also used by pedestrians (in addition to the pavement).

Typically, out of season, there are just four days (over Easter) when congestion occurs in Beach Road. For this, the Parish Council wish to restrict parking for either 2 or 7 Months!

This means that you, the road user, who has paid through Road Fund Licensing, will have to pay to use the public car park rather than the use the road, a road you have paid for in the first place! and one that is currently empty, all day, most days for 7 months of the year.

The Parish Council, in promoting this petition, do not appear to have considered any alternatives to reduce congestion e.g.:

Widen the access road to the car park to enable two way traffic.

Specific restrictions e.g. between Good Friday and Easter Monday and/or New Year’s day.

Parking restrictions on one side of the road with “Red Route” style restrictions e.g. no parking under any circumstances

Car parking space availability signage at the entrance to Beach Road to advise drivers if the car park is full and therefore not to travel down Beach Road and contribute to the congestion.

Depending on the actual proposal promoted, it could mean that properties in Beach Road without off street parking (my property being one) will not be able to be maintained as the parking restriction applies to ALL trade vehicles and it is not clear if there are any allowable dispensations.

If you feel the restrictions should be extended, please go to the village shop or the Lifeboat pub and sign the Parish Council petition there.

If you believe that the extension of parking restrictions are unnecessary and disproportionate, then please sign this petition. To mirror the Parish Council petition, by signing this petition you are supporting the campaign to KEEP THE CURRENT PARKING RESTRICTIONS IN BEACH ROAD and not extend them by any amount of time.

The results of this petition will be provided to the Sea Palling and Waxham Parish Council to provide a balance with the petition they have developed to support an extension of the parking restrictions in Beach Road.

Your help is VITAL as the decision maker – Norfolk County Council, will only accept requests for an extension to the existing parking restrictions if there is clear and broad support for the proposal. By showing that you DO NOT support the proposal of the Parish Council, the decision maker will have to consider YOUR views.

IF YOU LOVE SEA PALLING AND WANT TO KEEP IT ACCESSIBLE PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION TODAY!

Public criticism of how a politician or decision-maker acts in a public role is allowed, also when the events are old. That a matter is old is not in itself a ground for removal. We can still act on a false claim about the person or on otherwise unlawful content.

If the matter is old or no longer current, it is best to contact the petition author directly. The author can remove the petition for any reason; we cannot.
