Parking for Residents

I am a landlord and I am not allowed apply for any parking permits. This makes it impossible for me to park at a property I OWN to carry out essential annual repairs, decorating and to comply with the Erkective Licence that I pay OCC FOR!

I’m lease don’t make life even harder than it is already. I am a pensioner living on my own and the highlight of my day is to have a visit with members of my family or the occasional friend. Please don’t cut us off even further which affects our wellbeing and mental health.

Ticehurst is a small village, with 1 shop, 1 chemist, 1 village hall and a close knit community, if we lose the doctors surgery it means that the many elderly residents who reside here and no longer drive would have to go to the next closest Dr which is 4 miles away! How do they get there I here you ask, well that would be via a bus that only runs once every hour and is very unreliable and has no seating at the bus stops. So an appointment would mean a considerable amount of standing in freezing weather for possibly hours right by a secondary school. And should you end up having an appointment at school pickup/drop off time FORGET THE BUS. We need a local surgery. The village needs a local surgery.

Losing it will cost lives!

Ticehurst, Wadhurst and the surrounding villages are all expanding with houses being built at pace with no thought for local infrastructure. Buses are not regular enough for those that don’t drive and for those that do the parking and congestion in Wadhurst is already an issue. Removing local services to replace them with more housing is not sustainable. Any new development needs to include a surgery.
