You’ll all be glad to know that everyone in S1 is terribly pleased with the way their new zone has turned out. I’ll bet they are! Oh, I’m sorry. I’m just grumpy because I had to park four streets away again. No residents’ spaces in the Crescent tonight, even though all of the pay and display spaces were completely free.
Anyway, the text is below.
(BTW, I’ve printed out lots of letters but I couldn’t get the labels to print. I’ll have another go tomorrow).
Dear Mr Leather
Thank you for your recent email.
Zone S2 is due to commence on 05/03/2007.
Local councillors and residents asked for the CPZ extension to combat problems with commuters parking on residential streets all day, making it very difficult for local residents and their visitors to find parking. An extensive public consultation took place, including a public hearing in May 2005.
Residents within the new zones that began operating in September of this year, N1 and S1, have given us a lot of positive feedback about how the zones are operating so far, allowing them to regularly park near their homes for the first time in years.
We will send you more information and an application form for parking permits in the coming months. If you have any questions, please see www.edinburgh.gov.uk/cpzextension, email us at cpz.extension@edinburgh.gov.uk or call 0131 200 2310.
Kind Regards
Just Ask

Dear sir/madam,
I wonder if I can ask about zone S2 parking. I would like to know when the new zone will be introduced and when and where public consultations about the zone will be held.
Hugh Leather.
