Dear resident or business manager,

The public consultation for the possible introduction of Controlled Parking in theAshley/Harrison area will commence on 7 October and run until 1 November 2011.

The proposal would add Ashley Drive, Ashley Gardens, Ashley Grove, Ashley Terrace,Cowan Road, Harrison Gardens, Harrison Place and Ogilvie Terrace to Zone S4, meaningthat parking restrictions would apply on Monday to Friday between 08:30 and 17:30 hours.

How would Controlled Parking benefit residents?

Controlled Parking would mean that parking in this area would be limited to permit holdersand to those making use of the pay-and-display facilities.

Controlled Parking manages the use of kerbside space, with the aim of making it easier forresidents to park nearer to their homes, whilst also providing parking opportunities forother users such as visitors, shoppers and trades people. The potential for inconsiderateor inappropriate parking is reduced when parking controls are in place.

What permits would residents be entitled to?

Any qualifying resident who owns a vehicle may apply for a permit. Residents permits will

be limited to two per household but only one per person. A residents permit will allow theholder to use the permit in any parking place within the S4 Zone.

You would also be able to purchase up to 25 days worth of visitors parking permits eachyear. Permits are available in books of 10, with each permit covering a 90 minute period.Multiple permits can be used together to allow your visitors to park for longer periods.

What other permits are available?

Trades permits allow trades people working in the city centre to park throughout the CPZ.Retailers permits allow holders to park in shared use and permit holders parking places, at

particular times, in their specific zone only.

How much would permits cost?

Permit prices will be based on your vehicles emissions, with an additional surchargeapplied to second permits in a household. Full details of prices can be found on ourwebsite at www.edinburgh.gov.uk/parking. Visitors permits cost 6.00 for a book of 10.

Any resident with a blue badge will be entitled to a residents permit free of charge.Residents meeting certain disability criteria may also be entitled to a double allocation ofvisitors permits at half the normal cost.

How do I find out more about Controlled Parking?

Further information about this proposal is available on the Councils website,www.edinburgh.gov.uk/priorityparking. You can also see a copy of the plans during theconsultation dates at the City Chambers, 249 High Street, EH1 1YJ.

I dont live in one of the affected streets. Can I still comment?

This letter is being circulated to all properties between the Union Canal and SlatefordRoad so that you are kept up-to-date with what is being proposed in your area.

If you live outside the area affected by this proposal we want to know your views onparking in your street. If you would like the Council, for example, to consider furtherextending parking controls, please let us know by responding to this consultation.

How do I make my views known to the Council?

Whether you want to object to the scheme, indicate your support or just make a comment

it is vital that you let us know. We can only make the right decision on whether this schemeshould proceed if we know what people living and working within the area think.

Make your views known to us by e-mail at controlledparkingzone@edinburgh.gov.uk oryou can write to us at Transport, City Development, 249 High Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1YJ

Please make sure that you include your full name and address, as well as explaining in asmuch detail as you can why you oppose or support the proposal. It is important toremember that petitions only count as one letter, so it is worthwhile taking the time to writeto us individually.

What happens next?

Once the consultation period ends we will analyse all of the responses received. Thatanalysis will be used to form the basis of a report to a future meeting of the Transport,Infrastructure and Environment Committee. That Committee will be asked to make adecision on the future of the proposal based on the responses to the consultation.
