ePetition details

Islington Council’s proposed changes to the Controlled Parking Zones would see charged parking extended to seven days a week, and up to 9pm, 11pm and even 24 hours a day in some areas of the borough.

We find these proposed changes totally unnecessary and believe they will have a significant and detrimental impact on businesses and organisations in the borough who rely on evening and Sunday trade.

As a non-profit organisation, Islington Chamber of Commerce’s primary objective is to protect and promote the interests of Islington’s businesses. We have been approached by and have spoken to businesses and business groups up and down the borough, representing the likes of shops, restaurants and Sunday traders – as well as other groups, such as places of worship or community groups fearing the loss of membership of older and disabled people, who rely on cars for transportation. There is strong opposition to the proposals across the borough, and we believe that this petition is needed to give Islington businesses a voice that is not currently being heard.
