Floatn Over Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 These RPZ changes will clearly be a big issue this season, I'm now resigned to paying to park somewhere, I've been free street parking for years and years so I guess it's inevitably time to pay up but what I find annoying is that there are so many businesses and some school sites also in the area of North St where reserved parking spaces could perhaps be set up. I booked a school site on line, near Wembley for the JPT. Great experience, met by a caretaker type chap, directed me to a space, bit of banter with some Walsall fans, comfortable walk to Wembley, school gets some extra income; there is very little like that around North St. Being extensively a residential area does not help, unlike the Madjeski say where there are business providing parking. Perhaps something the club could promote but I'm asking too much. As to "Park on my Drive" I booked one for Fulham game only to find someone parked in it when I arrived. I rang the owner, they did not know the car, very apologetic etc and said they would get it towed but that did not help me. By the time I eventually street parked elsewhere at that time I had missed part of the first half; kind of put me off that but probably just unlucky.

paignton red Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Maybe S.L. could start thinking about ordering tons of tarmac for the "dog walking" area he bought in long ashton ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would i think have fulfilled their contract? It sounds too simple as somebody would have come up with the idea before but i thought i'd ask You don't have to go to the centre, you can get off at Bower Ashton. Doesn't work for midweek games when it closes early, or Sundays when it is shut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalcub Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 So I’ve checked the council website and am I right in saying opposite the coopers frayne road I believe , and all up through Bemmie is now a no go for match day parking , however close to the stadium Raines road smith etc etc are all still ok to park on ?

Is there some sort of tram being built along the New Cut on Coronation Road? Will that help anyone at all? Arghhh... the BRT.. well its coming no?

That was my understanding mate, basically Duckmoor Road and all the little roads coming off of it are fair game, anything else North Street side and around is a no-go.
