An update after the Holborough Lakes parking public meeting

This morning we sent this email to residents who attended the Holborough Lakes parking public meeting:

Many thanks for your feedback.

There were nearly 70 residents at the recent Holborough Lakes parking meeting, with 24 people completing the questionnaire.

The response to the first question was as follows:

Which of the following statements most accurately reflects your view:
- I am completely happy with the road markings at Holborough Lakes and would like them to be enforced according to the markings.	3
- I am generally happy with the road markings but think improvements could be made.	4
- I am generally unhappy with the road markings but would like to see some adjustments.	8
- I am very unhappy with the road markings and would like to see significant changes.	9

I am seeing Berkeley on Tuesday and will give them feedback from the meeting.

KCC also need to decide whether they will instruct Berkeley to remove the lines in areas without TROs (or just remove the lines themselves).

There was a wide range of responses to the other questions in the questionnaire, and here is a selection of comments:

"This is not a family friendly estate. More disabled spaces required"

"Parking problems in Holborough Lakes cause problems in Holborough Road too"

"Cars must be kept off pavements"

"Staggered lines on main routes [would help]"

"More parking bays where possible. Compromise is needed"

"I would like double yellow lines to be enforced"

"Roadside parking should be allowed"

"More provision of visitor parking [is needed], especially in phase 1 & 2"

"We are fed up with Berkeley Homes not considering the views of residents"

"The yellow lines will not work. People need to be able to have family and friends visit"

"Yellow lines need to be added where there are cobbled areas"

"it is very important that there is parking control over the whole of the development"

"Enforce parking restrictions at the nursery"

"Staggered parking needs to be in place on the main roads to create more spaces"

"Please consider that we would like to have family round without a parking nightmare"

"We do not need this strict, unnecessary enforcement"

"A blanket of yellow lines is not the answer".

I will keep you updated when I have further information from KCC and Berkeley.
