Kingsland Road green space saved from car parking
Thanks to pressure from local Liberal Democrats a revised parking and restricted waiting area is to be set up in the Kingsland Road area. Residents and Liberal Democrat Councillors were concerned by the original plans to fell a tree and concrete over a green space in Kingsland Road in order to make more limited waiting parking. Those plans have now been scrapped in favour of creating a limited waiting area for parking on Park Road East near to Kingsland Road. This revised plan will allow shoppers to park for up an hour while using the shops on Newhampton Road West.
