A call has been made to introduce residents’ parking permits in a Middlesbrough suburb.
Conservative Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland Will Goodhand said residents in Marton have complained about parking problems which are causing them to park their cars far away from their homes.
Mr Goodhand is now calling for a permit scheme put in place to solve the nuisance parking.
He said parking was one of the biggest issues when speaking to Marton residents.
“Local people have been telling me about their parking issues across Marton and their struggles to ensure that parking spaces and roads are not clogged up with people from outside the area parking.
“Particular issues have been raised about vans parking overnight or for a couple of days in residential areas.
“This is also an issue near the Marton shopping area where some residents are being blocked into their drives by careless parkers.”
“I will speak to Middlesbrough Council to seek a solution to the issues and whether we can establish a permit scheme so people can always find somewhere near to home to park, especially for those without garages or driveways.”
A Middlesbrough Council spokesman said the authority had not yet been contacted by Mr Goodhand regarding the issue.
The last major residents parking zones introduced in Middlesbrough was in 2009 in central Middlesbrough.
Restrictions were imposed in the town’s university ward after widespread complaints from residents about problems caused by the daily influx of workers and students who parked on their streets.
