Stoke Newington Ward Forum Monday 21st October - focus on illegal parking

Dear all,

 

Our next Stoke Newington ward forum is on Monday 21^st October at 7pm in Yorkshire Grove community hall.

 

Given the number of emails and correspondence about the parking issues on Hollar, Batley and Tyssen Roads – ranging from the signs being painted over, to the illegal parking, and intimidation of parking attendants – it seems that it would be useful to focus the meeting on how these problems can be addressed.

 

We’ve invited representatives from Parking, anti social behaviour and the police, as well as seeing who might be responsible for the minicabs from a licensing angle. Hopefully these will be confirmed soon – but obviously for the meeting to be useful, it would be good to have residents there who can raise the issues with the relevant people and we can try and find a way forward from the current situation.

 

Please let me know if this would be useful and if you’d be interested in attending on 21^st.

 

Kind regards

 

Louisa
