What the petition asks
Arundel Road council car park:
To my neighbours on the trading estate,
The council carpark behind MAK electricals on Arundel road is being sold for development.
Postcode: UB8 2RP
Freehold land registry title no. AGL199136
This would cause huge parking issues for the estate.

This would cause huge parking issues for the estate.
The problems this will cause are:
Parking chaos for estate
More traffic from development
This area is a zone 2 flood risk. Clearing the land will increase risk of flood to businesses
Green belt land is eligible to be cleared and have temporary structures on it (cargo containers) - increasing flood risk further
Otters inhabit the Colne river. Destruction of habitat may change this
The UK has 98% of the chalk rivers in the world. The Colne river is one of them.
