This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Preserve parking access on Armley Town Street, Leeds.
1. Removing or significantly reducing parking spaces could make it difficult for residents to find parking for their vehicles and for customers to access local businesses. This could result in decreased foot traffic and revenue for shops in the area.

2. Could deter customers from frequenting local businesses, leading to a decline in sales and potentially causing some businesses to struggle or even close down. This could have a negative economic impact on the entire community, affecting employment opportunities.
3. Elderly residents/those with mobility issues may rely on nearby parking to access essential services and amenities. Reduced parking availability could make it challenging for them, impacting their quality of life.
