Sticker Car Park Consultation
Published: 25 April 2022
The Parish Council is consulting on an updated Draft Order Parking Order and would appreciate your feedback. The consultation is taking place between 11 th May 2022 and 1 st June 2022 therefore your response is needed by 1st June 2022 to be considered. The background to bringing in a Parking Order on Sticker Car Park is due to the number of complaints received by the Parish Council regarding abandoned and unroadworthy vehicles in Sticker Car Park, leaving residents wanting to use the halls or businesses unable to park and how the council are not protecting a Parish Council owned asset. To be able to control the vehicles which use the Car Park, the Parish Council needs a Parking Order. A Draft Parking Order was prepared and consulted on in 2020. The responses were considered, and the majority of replies agreed that space was of a premium and the unroadworthy and abandoned vehicles needed removing. Residents raised concerns regarding the cost of the permit (£250) and displaced vehicles parking on the roads. Councillors listened to these concerns and agreed that the main objective was to remove the abandoned/ unroadworthy vehicles, therefore a peppercorn permit charge would achieve this main aim, and resolved a 12 month permit would be £1, on production of a V5 registration document proving local address and a current MOT proving roadworthy. Amendments to the Draft Parking Order were made and this will address all the concerns, solve the current problems and protect a council asset. The Draft Parking Order is available to view on the Parish Council Website. If you would like a paper copy, please contact the Deputy Clerk. Please complete the attached consultation questionnaire and return either via email to: deputyclerk@stmewanparishcouncil.gov.uk or post to Parish Clerk, Tre Bethan, The Chase, Sticker, St Austell PL26 7HL. Any questions please phone Amanda Kendall, Deputy Clerk on 07749246925.
