Parking Info

Hey all,

I've had a lot of questions about how much green area is going to be taken up by these new parking spaces. The truth is that no one knows yet. What's on view at DLRCOCO is a proposal. As per the information I have been provided about the 4 May meeting, the final proposal and drawings have yet to be completed.

What I do know for definite is standard parking dimensions. The proposed spaces are parallel, and will more than likely be at the upper limits of the standard space size, given that at least one space is going to be a disabled space.

You can see the full detail on the new Parking tab on www.savesandycovegreen.com, but we're looking at at least 250 square metres for the spaces and another 120 square metres for the new path. There isn't that much space on the existing path, not by a long way. So a significant amount of the green will have to be demolished to make way for the new construction.

There has to be a better solution than putting the car parking spaces on the green. If these spaces are really needed, then the Traffic Department must be able to come up with a better proposal.

Let's keep pushing for FULL PUBLIC CONSULTATION!

Thanks all,
