I am shocked more people are not responding to these discriminatory proposals. The obvious challenge for the council is to raise more revenue for what has become an expensive programme to implement, manage and enforce. But it is also a 'nice little earner' don't be fooled.<br />
Rather than targeting specific areas, make a small increase across all categories. All this Diesel bashing is getting rather boring when later models are better than most Petrol vehicles but not everyone can afford one,…

I have no sympathy for the Council and object to their attempts to hide the true reason for the proposals - they want more Revenue! Hi Cathy,
Yes, I think that…tag:bowesandbounds.org,2020-06-11:6278630:Comment:1418452020-06-11T17:00:40.104ZDaniel Cowanhttps://bowesandbounds.org/profile/DanielCowan
<p>Hi Cathy,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Yes, I think that less cars and more street space on Myddleton Road would be an excellent idea.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I don't think it would necessarily have to be full pedestrianisation - perhaps removing half of the parking spaces and replacing them with areas for seating, planters on top of hidden rubbish bins, more bike parking etc. The road space could zig-zag, slowing down the cars and making the street altogether more safe and pleasant.</p>

<p>Reading this and thinking of all the talk about change, I wonder if now is the time to push for the pedestrianisation of Myddleton Road. Deliveries and cleaning still happen at specific times in pedestrianised shopping streets. Of course, there will be issues. Many business park in the street-rather counter productive as customers cannot!</p>
<p>Streets around Myddleton do not want to see an increase in parking and that needs managing. But, surely if we are learning anything at the moment,…</p>

<p>Streets around Myddleton do not want to see an increase in parking and that needs managing. But, surely if we are learning anything at the moment, it is time for some changes, particularly in an area with access to the best range of public transport.</p>
<p>Also, watch out for planning deregulation about to be brought in! Important issues for Myddleton.</p>
