I'm not up to speed on this issue, but is it because too many cars are parked on lower Road because the car park charges a fee ? Is it as simple as that ?

The problem certainly is that there are too many cars parked in Lower Road, but the situation has been caused by a number things, insufficient parking at the offices in Chiltern Hill, double yellow lines in Chiltern Hill, guys working on the Grange Site, insufficient parking spaces throughout CSP, the precinct parking only being 1 hour, and, yes, people not wanting to pay for parking.
Some parking in Lower Road is inevitable and accepted, the problem is cars parked opposite each other creating bottle necks and obstruction.

I did ask him after the meeting to ensure the whole village was considered as it costs less to do the whole application, he assured me it was but also wanted to know if he had all the hot spots. I asked him to let Tony Shinner have a list of what he has and we can then check it out.
I also want whoever it needs to be to consider my suggestion for the Grange exits as this is key to keeping the village clear

we were told 2 years ago our issue could not be addressed on its own as a holistic village wide scheme needed to be worked out, - 

it cant come too soon, the road across the middle of the common, orchard grove, the lower road, pennington road, the road outside the jolly farmer  to name just a few, the retailers in the market place want  wardens to stop people parking for many hours, - its time for change !

Some things I suggested a long time ago.

New car park at top of village on the now built on Holy Cross site and reduce Market Street to 30 minutes, plus reduced parking charges for businesses in main car park

a car park on the holy cross site was submitted, but obviously the developers ' offer' was better, so we got the grange,.....with insufficient parking

It was an idea but why ridiculous? Can you suggest a better area to use?

Rather than tarmac the allotments and lose some of our green space it would be sensible to make the Church Lane carpark 2 storey, but personally I would not like that either!
