Mary: "Implement free parking plans now!"

Local MP Mary Macleod has issued a challenge to Hounslow Council, asking them to implement 30 minute free parking plans straight away, everywhere across the Borough.

Mary took to Twitter to reply to Hounslow Council, who had previously responded to Mary’s parking campaign with a link to a news story on the Council’s website, written this April.

Mary said: “If Hounslow Council want to expand their free parking scheme as I have suggested, that’s great, but what’s the delay? Local people and businesses want this now. I am also anxious to hear from them about the ‘HounslowCard’ idea I put to them in my letter, which would both really help our local independent shops and make parking easier for residents.”

Mary is still waiting for a written response to her letter of the 5th August from Council Leader Jagdish Sharma and Cllr Ed Mayne, Cabinet Member for Transport.

She added: “I want to have a fair parking system that benefits local residents and helps support our local high streets and shops. It will help in building a stronger local community.”
