The Ward Committee recently held a special meeting for residents to discuss the problems they encounter with overflow parking from the College.

The College Principle outlined the parking policies of the College and the measures that they have taken to subsidise bus travel and increase walking and cycling.

There are only 46 less car parking spaces now than there were on the two old sites combined and although there has been a significant increase in the number of students using public transport, walking and cycling there has also been a significant increase in student numbers as the College reputation grows.

Councillors are now working with the College and Council Officers to come up with come solutions and a follow up meeting is expected to be held after Christmas.
