Cllr David Martin has secured concessions for Lime Grove residents affected by the construation of Rennie Close.

Building works on the old special school site started during the summer after planning permission was granted in May. Due to the restricted access to the site, it is necessary to restrict residents’ parking along one side of Lime Grove Gardens so that delivery vehicles and construction equipment can be brought safely onto the site. These restrictions have posed problems for residents as there is very little spare capacity for on-street parking in the area.

David Martin has intervened with the developers, Bloor Homes, to get a concession for reimbursing residents if they need to use nearby off-street parking for the duration of the restricted parking. The Council has also agreed to make the parking restrictions less severe and the restrictions will apply only between 9 am and 4 pm, on Mondays to Fridays.
