The location of new housing development here in Chipping Bonhunt may still be up for discussion as formulation of a new draft local plan grinds on. However, that hasn’t stopped the County Council from pushing forward with new draconian restrictions preventing on-street parking on a number of local roads.

One of the “justifications” for their action is the need to accommodate the traffic generated by new housing, but if the locations for this have still to be finalised, why the need to remove the parking?
