Harewood Parish Council – Parking Survey

Community Survey: Parking

Help us to represent you more effectively.

Harewood residents have raised concerns about growing levels of parking in the village over several years but in common with many other villages and rural areas across NE Leeds, parking has rapidly increased during the Covid-19 crisis. The Parish Council would like to hear your views on this issue. Responsibility for controlling parking lies with Leeds City Council’s Highways Department but by collecting this information, your Parish Council can represent you more effectively in discussions with Ward councillors and Council officers.

Use the link to access our online survey: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/P9GHNSY

The survey closes at midnight on Friday 11 June 2020. It will only take a few minutes to complete.

Please be assured that your responses are anonymous and confidential.
