We the undersigned petition Brighton & Hove Council to change the current parking restrictions along St George's Road, Kemptown, from the current restrictions to one that provides a two hour parking option for visitors to the various local businesses during the week day and at weekends.

Local businesses complain that many customers are put off by the lack of parking available for them to park safely and timely when accessing the various cafes, hair salons and boutique independent shops - which includes the only pharmacy in the area.

St George's Road is often over looked in Kemptown, favouring the more local St James's Street, and as such suffers from a lack of footfall and visitors.

Many times customers have simply wanted to nip into one of the independent shops, yet due to a lack of short term parking spaces available, have either parked on the pavement or blocked roads as they park opposite causing obstructions for many.

This petition is to ask Brighton and Hove City Council to look at various options moving forward to enable all those who live, work and visit St George's Road, Kemptown, to be able to park safely and increase footfall to the various independent businesses in the area.
