Westminster Council Parking Restrictions

EDM number 2354 in 2010-12, proposed by Kelvin Hopkins on 01/11/2011.
Categorised under the topic of Roads.

That this House notes the proposal by Westminster City Council to extend on-street parking restrictions to midnight from Monday to Saturday and between 1.00pm and 6.00pm on Sundays; expresses concern at the impact that such restrictions will have on those working unsocial hours in the entertainment and leisure industries, which are a major component of the local Westminster economy; is particularly concerned about the effect this will have on women and more vulnerable workers who have to use their own transport at times when public transport is not running; and calls on Westminster Council to reconsider its parking proposals for those who need to be able to travel to and from work by car.

This motion has been signed by a total of 14 MPs.
