Parking Enforcement – Vote for Wardens!
PARKING ENFORCEMENT – DON’T FORGET TO VOTE! CLOSING DATE IS 10 MARCH The following resolution was agreed without dissent at the TA meeting held on 19 February 2014. Since then Hyde has circulated its final proposals and is asking residents to vote. The TA believes we should vote for Parking Wardens. “KPE TA is appalled at the way Hyde Southbank has conducted its long drawn out and incoherent Parking Enforcement consultation.

Meanwhile, residents – both car owners and non-car owners – continue to have to wend their way round a growing car park. *thanks to Alex for the photo

Our representatives on the Southbank Residents Forum have recently received an update from Hyde which blames the problems with the repairs service on IT systems, tenants reporting too many repairs (like too much sewage coming up through our kitchen sinks?), and the former contractor’s workers. Sounds to us as though Hyde is using the same spin doctors as the Coalition Government! But decide for yourself. Here’s the letter from Hyde Southbank’s Resident Services Manager: “As you will of course be aware, 28th October signalled ‘Go Live’ for the new repairs…
