Stop proposed parking permits in Bournemouth and Poole

The council have withdrawn the proposal.

Permit proposal
Stop the proposed parking permits being rolled out around Bournemouth and Poole. Instead review the fines that can be issued to illegal and dangerous parking.

Why is this important?

Many locals, holidaymakers and tourists fill up all the remaining car parks very quickly as soon as the sun comes out. This then results in many parking illegally, one roundabouts, double yellow lines, junctions, pavements and anywhere they can fit their vehicle. The cost of parking in Bournemouth can be expensive anyway so many risk parking on verges etc. as the fine will be £35 if paid within 30 days. This is not a deterrent at all and adding permits for all local residents will just add to the cost of living crisis we are all being affected by.
