  "textContent": "After the residents and businesses of Croydon successfully fought the first proposals to change the parking restrictions, Croydon Council are now trying to push through dramatic changes to the existing zoned parking arrangements for Central Zone as follows:\n\nExisting hours for the Croydon CPC \n9am - 5pm Monday to Saturday\n\nProposed hours for the Croydon CPC \n7am to midnight, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!!\n\nThis not only affects Central, but will affect the bordering zones with displacement parking.\n\nHow this affects my local road\nIn the road I live in, which did not have or need parking bays when I moved in in 1992, residents park on the single yellow line when they get home from work and there is enough room for all. This draconian measure means that there will be a bun fight fight for spaces especially at weekends. The parking spaces were put in the road to protect residents from shoppers using the road to park in but that has never happened and appears to be a lie and this measure seems to be simply for creating revenue for the council to fill holes, not potholes ut budget holes.\n\nPlease think how this will affect not only your own parking but for your visitors and customers. ALL the residents we have spoken to think this is outrageous.\n\nThe official way to object is by writing to:\nOrder Making Section,\nParking and Technical Services,\n1st Floor, Davis House,\nRobert Street,\nCroydon, CR0 1QQ\nQuote Reference to be advised\n\nPlease be aware that signing a petition is NOT enough - a petition counts as one objection only, even if everyone in Croydon signs it, whereas each letter received by the council counts as one objection each - so please write in by the 9th October 2002!!!\n\nThere appears to be many people getting petitions together and delivering flyers in their street - if you are one of these people or know who one is please get in contact with us. We want to get everyone co-ordinated against this.\n\n(This site has NO political affiliations whatsoever. It has been built by very concerned residents of Croydon.
