MORE DISABLED PARKING BAYS ARE NEEDED.


I am currently working closely with the Chair of the Oscott Disabilities Group, George Hough and other members, on the issue regarding the lack of Disabled Parking Bays in the Oscott area, and the need for more disabled friendly drop curbs.
We have already received agreement from the Transportation department, about having a disabled parking bay, placed in Kettlehouse Road near the HSB bank and have made a number of other suggestions. There clearly needs to be a balance between the needs of disabled motorists and the need for parking generally. I am now hold ongoing discus ions with the Transportation department and disabled residents regarding this matter.
There are also a number of disabled friendly drop curbs being put in place around the ward over the next 12 months.

If you have any thoughts on issue of Disabled Parking bays please give me a ring on 360 6486
