Darlington Council Seeks Public Input on Parking Policies

Darlington residents are invited to share their opinions on parking zones as the council revises its policies through an online survey.
Darlington Council Invites Residents to Weigh In on Parking Zones
Residents of Darlington are being encouraged to voice their thoughts on the much-discussed Residents’ Parking Zones (RPZ). The Darlington Borough Council is rolling out an online questionnaire aimed at reformulating the existing RPZ policy.
According to Libby McCollom, the cabinet member for local services, the current policy has been around for a while—long enough, in fact, to require a tech-savvy update. "With advancements in technology and a growing emphasis on sustainability, it's high time we reassess our parking strategy," she stated, urging residents, whether they have a permit or not, to participate.
The survey will delve into various aspects, including parking difficulties, enforcement practices, permit fees, and options for visitor parking. It’s open to all Darlington residents, allowing everyone’s voice to echo through the digital halls of local governance.
The consultation period closes on October 13, after which the collected responses will help draft a new policy for council review. While individual feedback will be noted, don’t expect a personalized thank-you note from the council!
For those who prefer the old-school method, paper copies of the questionnaire are available at the Town Hall and local libraries. So, whether you’re a tech whiz or a pen-and-paper aficionado, your opinion matters!
