Residents Parking permits for Mariner House

We the undersigned petition the council to Give the residents of Mariner House 157-163 High Street residents permits for a street nearby. (Scratton road). We have been residents for two years and denied residents permits because of bureaucracy. Scratton road was recently made a permit holder zone because of commuter parking. The road is now virtually empty and there is plenty of space.

We, the residents of Mariner House (only 20 of us) are forced to park miles away from our home. Over the last two year, we have been forced to park further and further away. Now in Westcliff in a side street. To use my car when required, I have to walk 20 mins (I have osteoarthritis) get the train or a taxi to get my car. Out of hours I have to get a taxi.

We have NO parking at the block itself. When we first moved here we were told (falsely by Leaders) that we could apply for residents permits.

We all pay council tax and bring revenue to the area directly and indirectly with family friends and visitors. We have been told by the parking enforcement dept that 'The High St' was not part of the original scheme. It seems utter madness that residents are not being allowed permits or concessions made. It also means that the council are missing out on revenue? We have been advised we can apply for alternative permits, but these run in to 100's of £'s a year?

Please can the council address this long running issue and use a bit of common sense to resolve a very simple issue.
