Southsea Seafront reversal of new parking layout Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/southsea-seafront-reversal-of-new-parking-layout.html Online petition signatures en-us Fri, 10 Apr 2026 10:20 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mr Andy Stradling [Signature #50] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/8317408?utm_medium=rss The new parking arrangement makes it impossible to park facing the sea and this loss seems to outweigh the benefit that the resulting cycle lane provides to cyclists, as so few actually use it.

]]> Thu, 24 Jun 2010 10:10:37 UTC 8003217 Miss Charlotte Potts [Signature #48] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7865020?utm_medium=rss So I either open my car onto an oncoming car or a cyclist! Thankyou for allowing for disabled passengers and drivers! I'm sure they willthanyou when try need bones fixed or new car doors! And thankyou for ruining a family tradition. As we now have to stare at a CARBOOT instead of THE SEA I'll never be putting a penny of my money in them machines! Think how much it cost the tax payer to complete this monster. How much more will you have to spend on peoples compo when they fall on them islands?

]]> Sat, 5 Jun 2010 04:05:45 UTC 7865020 Miss Catherine Boorer [Signature #47] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7811545?utm_medium=rss Surely this cuts down on the amount of parking space available for Summer visitors, resulting in overspill into residential parking areas? Good idea about a cycle route, but very poor planning and execution.

]]> Mon, 31 May 2010 04:34:03 UTC 7811190 mrs Helen turner [Signature #45] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7775902?utm_medium=rss I am a cyclist, both alone and with my young children, and a car driver. I have lived in Portsmouth all my life. This new system causes danger to people exiting cars, cyclists when people run from prom to car and children who run across cycle lane. It removes parking spaces and makes people park at right angles to the view. I do not see what was wrong with the original layout, and think that this change is far from an improvement for any user.

]]> Thu, 27 May 2010 02:24:19 UTC 7775902 Mrs Julie Morgan [Signature #44] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7757032?utm_medium=rss the cycle lane should be on the promenade

]]> Wed, 26 May 2010 09:57:04 UTC 7757032 Mr Jonathan Crisp [Signature #43] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7752783?utm_medium=rss I have noticed it is particularly dangerous at night as the layout is somewhat confusing. Will perhaps be more of an issue during the summer holidays

]]> Wed, 26 May 2010 05:18:57 UTC 7752783 Miss Sarah Phillips [Signature #42] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7752759?utm_medium=rss .

]]> Tue, 25 May 2010 03:42:04 UTC 7747801 Mr Robert Smith [Signature #40] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7746478?utm_medium=rss Clearly, there was no issue with cyclists in the first place. The width of the promenade is clearly wide enough to accommodate responsible cyclists and pedestrians. Given the parking issues Portsmouth faces, reducing space with no adverse benefit is madness.

This is a solution looking for a problem, and represents the waste that local government is so guilt of. Please have the common sense to swallow pride and reverse these changes.

]]> Tue, 25 May 2010 01:28:22 UTC 7746478 Mrs Karina Poolton [Signature #39] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7743033?utm_medium=rss Another waste of taxpayers money - why didn't they just section off part of the wide promenade for cyclists???

]]> Tue, 18 May 2010 01:35:07 UTC 7684647 mrs susan jones [Signature #33] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7683259?utm_medium=rss Hope this helps to get Southsea back to how it should be.

]]> Tue, 18 May 2010 11:30:45 UTC 7683259 Mr Jeff Firman [Signature #32] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7680558?utm_medium=rss Ridiculous plan put into action without thought or consideration. Why not use community officers to patrol the seafront during busy times, or use subtle markings on the promenade itself to warn pedestrians of cyclists? Keen cyclists still use the (now) too narrow road to exercise, the new layout helps no one. The seafront is dangerous for motorists cyclists and pedestrians. Lets find someone to admit to the mistake and put the seafront back to the way it was, before we have a fatality.

]]> Tue, 18 May 2010 07:19:25 UTC 7680558 miss anne-marie norwood [Signature #31] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7678305?utm_medium=rss Tue, 18 May 2010 03:00:02 UTC 7678305 mrs tasmin atkins [Signature #30] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7674684?utm_medium=rss the new system is worse than the old one, its more dangerous and needs changing back.

]]> Mon, 17 May 2010 06:03:58 UTC 7674684 Miss Anonymous [Signature #29] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7674032?utm_medium=rss Not only do cyclists still cycle on the promenade, they also cycle on the road, causing traffic to go around them in the much narrower traffic lanes.

]]> Mon, 17 May 2010 04:58:36 UTC 7674032 Mrs Gemma Conyard [Signature #28] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7672640?utm_medium=rss I have seen the new road layout and think it is madness! People love to park and look out to the sea and cyclists are still using the promenade! Complete waste of tax payers money!

]]> Mon, 17 May 2010 03:02:51 UTC 7672640 Mrs Fergie Cox [Signature #27] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7672388?utm_medium=rss Sorry, but this was obviously the cheapest idea. What is required is to take some of the promenade out for cyclists. I am a cyclist and keen on people getting out of their cars but the new system is dangerous for those parked and those driving!

]]> Mon, 17 May 2010 02:40:28 UTC 7672388 Mr Dave Kirby [Signature #26] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7671845?utm_medium=rss terrible idea, change it before someone gets killed please.

]]> Mon, 17 May 2010 01:59:39 UTC 7671845 Ms Chloe Hollins [Signature #25] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7671676?utm_medium=rss Too dangerous for all concerned !!!!!!

We will now see all the parking slots used during the summer months transfer to our resident streets in the area. Why two lanes ? Completely idiotic.

]]> Mon, 17 May 2010 12:51:40 UTC 7671035 Miss Anonymous [Signature #22] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7670503?utm_medium=rss I am signing this petition to reverse the new parking arrangement along Southsea Seafront. It will cause major disruption during the Summer months with visitors parallell parking and opening their doors to oncoming traffic. Everytime I have driven along the seafront I have seen cyclists using the road - the lanes are so narrow now it can be difficult overtaking at a safe distance, thus causing a traffic build up behoind you. What was wrong with the old system??

]]> Mon, 17 May 2010 10:55:04 UTC 7669671 Mr Daniel Matthews [Signature #19] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7668750?utm_medium=rss I support this petition fully

]]> Mon, 17 May 2010 08:27:33 UTC 7667902 Mr Guy Peters [Signature #17] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7667545?utm_medium=rss Council went against result of public survey and implemented inappropriate beach road redevelopment. This was anti-democratic and a waste of money, and represents a danger. It needs to be reversed.

Portsmouth city council take a bow!!! you have completely messed up.

]]> Sun, 16 May 2010 12:32:44 UTC 7657716 Mrs Anonymous [Signature #9] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/7656282?utm_medium=rss Please put the parking back to the way it was as it is now ruined.

I think the public if asked would have been against it from the very start and the money that has been spent changing the sea front would have not been wasted on such a poor idea!!!!!!!!
