PARKING SURVEY:

Parking came up as an issue in the "likes, dislikes and wants survey".  On Friday 20th March we conducted a survey of the usage of the car park at Lower Shott.  Team members were there all day.  It is the team's responsibility to understand the overall situation regarding parking in the Village.  We need to be aware of how the car parks are used (short stay or long stay?) and by whom (shoppers, workers, visitors, residents?).  Once we understand this we will consult again with residents and business owners before we put our plan together.  We'll communicate the results once they have been analysed and compared with other car park surveys we will be doing
