Parking causes a lot of frustration for residents and is an area that the VA receives a lot of communication about. It is clear that there are more vehicles on the development than it was designed to accommodate, and the number continues to rise.

The VA does not intervene in individual parking disputes but does support residents in providing clarity on the entitlement and use of parking spaces and will, through the Wardens, look to address cases of inconsiderate or dangerous parking.

As the number of vehicles rises the VA appeals to all drivers to be considerate and mindful as to where vehicles are parked and to think of others when parking, this includes:

• Using driveways where available.

• Not abandoning vehicles on the development.

• Not using visitor spaces as a personal space. These are intended for the use of resident's visitors.

• Where allocated car park spaces are available then use them rather than other spaces.

Not parking on bends or close to junctions. This reduces the line of sight and makes it dangerous for others. It can also make it difficult for the buses and larger vehicles to get around the development.

The VA is going to consider if additional spaces could be created to help alleviate the issues. Clearly this could be costly so would need to be considered carefully but if you have any ideas on this then please get in touch.

Thank you for your consideration and support in helping reduce the frustrations associated with parking.
