Following requests from residents, Pam and I have for some time been looking at a residents’ parking scheme for Oakfield Avenue, off Oak Road in Cheadle.  It’s a small road, but the big issue is how narrow it is at the entrances.  When cars are parked up at the ends, bin lorries and emergency vehicles can’t get through and it causes real problems.

However, the residents at the moment aren’t sufficiently in favour of residents’ parking.  We need 51% of households to agree to it (because they’re going to be asked to pay for parking permits).  So far 45% are in favour, 19% against and the rest haven’t returned the forms despite being reminded.

If more reply, it could tip over the 51% mark, but for now Pam is looking into putting down yellow lines in key places.

Here’s a Google map of the location.
