Residents in Cambridge are split over new parking restrictions that could impact local services and accessibility for patients and visitors
Some local businesses, like Hurst Park Dental Practice, are worried. They say these changes could make it tough for patients, especially those who come from far away. Many of their patients rely on cars, and if parking gets tricky, they might not show up.
The proposed rules would limit parking to permit holders during weekdays. This means fewer spots for visitors, which has some residents concerned. They feel it could hurt local services, like the dentist and schools.
On the flip side, some people think the area is too crowded with parked cars. They believe the new rules could help ease traffic and make things safer for everyone.
It’s a classic case of “you can’t please everyone.” The local council is moving forward with the plan, but it looks like the debate will continue for a while.
