Car Parking Cromwell Street , the residents cannot park on Cromwell Street without getting booked by ParkWise. This is an ongoing issue for this area of the Community recently highlighted in the Local Press. Contact has been made with Traffic Management in relation to this and are dealing with the issue. It would appear no one has full possession of the reasons why there are such parking restrictions in the area. NPT will continue with actions in this problem area.

Residents of Jutland St and Meadow St want to know if the car park can be cleaned on a regular basis and also the general upkeep of the surrounding area. During the St Georges Ward Week of Action, this area was highlighted and has subsequently been cleaned up. All relevant agencies are now aware and will monitor from now on and clean up accordingly.
