It was great to welcome Cllr Richard Davies, Executive Councillor for Highways to Stamford and discuss the local issues affecting our Town.
I have been aware that parking in our Town centre and streets off the High Street can be difficult for both residents and visitors.
I was therefore delighted that Cllr Davies agreed to a Town Centre Parking review, this will be carried out by Lincolnshire County Council.
The review will look at whether parking is suitable for residents, visitors and businesses in the town.
It will also in a joint up approach with South Kesteven look at the provision of off-street parking.
The review will be everything from signage, location, the waiting times and we will try to simplify the way that parking works and standardise it and try to help the town centre to continue to flourish. The review would also look at parking patterns in the town, kerb use and off street parking, including driveways and car parks.
It will also look at current restrictions and traffic flow through Stamford.
As part of the measure, people will be able to apply directly to the County Council to propose a parking scheme in their area instead of South Kesteven.
I look forward to working with local residents, businesses and stakeholders to conduct this review.
