🚨 MY PARKING MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY

A big result at Dover District Council tonight.

Our petition signed by 1,901 validated residents, councillors unanimously backed my motion to send the Parking Strategy to Overview & Scrutiny for a full evidence-led review.

That means we can now properly examine:

👉 parking income and usage
👉 the 3-hour limits
👉 maximum-stay restrictions across the district
👉 the impact on residents, visitors and businesses
👉 whether changes should now be recommended to Cabinet

What makes tonight particularly significant is that despite the petition itself not having the backing of Sandwich Town Council, the strength of feeling from residents and business won through.

1,901 residents made sure this could not simply be brushed aside, along with the many local businesses who displayed posters, shared their experiences and backed the call for another look.

Huge thanks to everyone for signing the petition and to Harry Sampson for speaking on behalf of residents and businesses tonight.

This isn’t the end of the process.

Now we get the evidence on the table and properly scrutinise whether this Parking Strategy is working for our towns.

I’ll keep you updated.

Latest on the Toll Bridge.

🚧 SANDWICH TOLL BRIDGE: REOPENING PLANNED FOR 9 OCTOBER

Some really positive news.

KCC are now working towards reopening Sandwich Toll Bridge to vehicles on 9 October, subject to the remaining works progressing as planned and no unforeseen delays.

After nearly 10 weeks of disruption, it’s great to see contractors on site and the repairs moving forward.

I’ve continued to work closely with Sir Roger Gale and senior officers at KCC, pushing for progress and keeping on top of the timetable for getting this important route reopened.

There is still work to complete, and 9 October remains a planned date rather than a guarantee, but this is a very encouraging step forward.

I’ll keep residents and businesses updated if anything changes.

And, as always, Sandwich remains open for business throughout. ❤️

Today we have launched a petition calling on Dover District Council to review its parking restrictions and charges across the district.

Residents, visitors and businesses have raised serious concerns about the current parking strategy, including the new three-hour maximum stay in some car parks, such as Guildhall Car Park in Sandwich.

Our towns need parking policies that support local businesses, encourage visitors to stay longer and help our high streets thrive, not restrictions that risk driving people away.

This matters across the whole district, including Sandwich, Deal, Dover and our surrounding communities.

If you think DDC needs to rethink its approach and deliver a fairer, more balanced parking strategy, please add your name here:

Please share this with anyone who cares about supporting our town centres, tourism and local businesses.
