I think that the proposal to build on all the local car parks is madness! Developers are being given permission to build residential sites without sufficient parking spaces for the residences, in turn creating crammed and dangerous parking on the roads. If these plans go ahead, local business will only suffer as it will deter people living on the out skirts of the town from coming in as they won't be able to park. Why is the station Car Park identified for development - it will make people lives difficult when they just need to commute to work every day?
I think that the proposal to build on all the local car parks is madness! Developers are being given permission to build residential sites without sufficient parking spaces for the residences, in turn creating crammed and dangerous parking on the roads. Sometimes I can't get out of our car due to so many cars parked in the road and I have witnessed emergency vehicles struggle to get down the road, yet you are planning to remove all the public car parks. So, were would you suggest visitors park? If these plans go ahead, local business will only suffer as it will deter people living on the out skirts of the town from coming in as they won't be able to park. The most shocking proposed site is the station Car Park, why would you choose to make people lives difficult when they just need to commute to work every day? I think these plans need a lot more thought and consideration for the people that already live in and around Brentwood. I am totally against these proposals.
