Summary of objections for proposed Residential Disabled Parking Bay

Proposed disabled parking bay at, 25 Beck Hole, Cayton
Summary of comments	Officer comments
Resident of Beck Hole The said parking bay will only help the people who live in the allocated areas. I myself do not drive, so I can see what goes on in the car park and it is frustrating for blue badge owners when there is no place for them to park. It is a very busy car park and far too small. What is needed is for the park to be extended, there is plenty of ground for that to be done in two areas of Beck Hole. There are residents who own more than one car also working vans. I think most of the residents own a blue badge and do myself. Elderly and care workers need space. In other words the car park in Beck Hole is far too small.	The car park mentioned by the respondent has space for 16 cars. The location of the proposed bay is not in the car park. It is on the east side of the access road where there is space for 6 cars which would reduce to 4 with an extra disabled bay. The ground mentioned is not council owned land so this is not a NYC issue and would be a matter for residents to discuss with the housing association.
Resident of Beck Hole We have discussed a disabled parking bay outside no 25. We do not feel this is helpful to put disabled parking bays, previously when there were some for some reason it made it harder to park. If anything there should be resident only parking with permits that residents can give to their visitors. My mum does not have a car, but has a blue badge, she is dependent on us to use our cars to enable her to leave her home. There are lots of disabled people who live at beck hole and struggle to park, and the couple who want the parking manage to get on 3 week holidays without any problem, lots of the folk here struggle to get out of the door.	The respondent, providing the blue badge is displayed, would be allowed to use a disabled parking bay for pick up and drop off.
Anonymous resident of Beck Hole No I don’t agree with it to go ahead. There are lots of people up here who have a long walk when you can get a park near their live is straight out of the car up their path to door. The ? 2 blue badge parking is and there is one which to make it fair it should be taken away because it’s been here for years and unfair to others who can’t use it so we do not agree. If one gets it everybody should we get car parking in here, other people on to confirm there is not enough parking space, 1 moves out another jumps in. I think we should take some of the grass up. I like to see green, tarmac, but door numbers on like the new ones have got then it leaves car parking for other people carers, workers coming to road nurses, doctors etc. It’s hard not getting a park when this is a lot of people and sometimes when we parked on yellow lines on the bend we have to reverse out we would all like one. If one gets it we all should there are a lot of us who have a long walk with shopping bags, who do have balance problems, back trouble, and leg problems who can’t walk far at all, or health issues. The removal to parking bays in front of centre takes up causes too much trouble. People think we have the right and it’s theirs, which left one which is near 25 Beck Hole which, some people park in it and nobody else to park in there, be better taking it up to make it fair. For others, less trouble. If one gets one everybody should and the one left no one gets to park in it causes trouble. No I don’t agree with it to go ahead we have health issues as well. Thank you	This hand written response was almost illegible. The text has been transcribed with the help of the CoPilot AI tool but the meaning is still difficult to interpret. The general message that comes through is that parking is limited and there are lots of visitors, carers, workers and doctors placing extra burden on the small car park. Many of the residents, have health issues and any improvements should be fair and equal for all residents. The response also calls for the existing blue badge parking bay to be removed.
Resident of Beck Hole Putting another disabled bay in is going to lose approx. 2 places for parking unless the double yellow lines were taken and changed. The parking is already not enough and making this it would be worse. The closest place to park is Limekiln Lane which for the majority of people living here is a 20 minute walk of which for many is not possible.	Limekiln Lane runs to the back of the Beck Hole cul de sac but is separated by a masonry wall thus requiring a long walk back to Beck Hole. A breach in the wall behind the community centre would provide a convenient route for pedestrian access to Beck Hole. This is not a NYC issue and would be a matter for residents to discuss with the housing association.
Resident of Beck Hole It will take up 3 spaces and space is an absolute premium. Those who won’t be able to park on the road will have to park in Beck Hole car park and there is not enough space already for the residents.	A disabled parking bay is 6.6m, which is approx 1.3 standard parking spaces.
