ePetition details

We the undersigned petition the council to conduct an IMMEDIATE REVIEW of all car parking problems in Teignmouth, in order to help resolve the car parking problems.

BACKGROUND AND WHY YOU NEED TO SIGN THIS PETITION

Since the introduction of new car parking regulations, it is fair to say that the car parking issue in Teignmouth has become more catastrophic. Visitors, traders and residents are complaining on a daily basis and this is now effecting large numbers of people creating a situation which cannot continue.
As Mayor of Teignmouth it is my responsibility to listens to what people are saying hence this petition. Currently a review of parking will not commence till March 2018 which realistically means that by the time results have been collected and the council produces a report it could be July 2018 by the time any decisions are made. This is unacceptable to lots of residents who feel their concerns are not being listened to.

Teignmouth Town Council is ONLY a consultee not the decision makers and as with residents, we are getting very frustrated with the situation.

Whilst on street parking is the responsibility of Devon County Council, off street is the responsibility of the District Council.

This petition is targeted at getting Devon County Council to debate this issue NOW and take action NOW. This process will and should involve Teignbridge District Council. It would be prudent, assuming we obtain 6000 signatures, that both the County and District Councils work together ASAP to both review and resolve this situation NOW.

If an e petition has received 6000 signatures then it will automatically trigger a debate at the next ordinary County Council meeting

This petition can only be signed by residents living in the administration area of Devon County Council i.e. NOT residents of Plymouth or Torquay.

Started by: Paul Burgess (Mayor Teignmouth)

This ePetition ran from 21/06/2017 to 20/08/2017 and has now finished.
