Safe & Orderly Student Parking – University Centre Warrington – 64 signatures
As students at University Centre Warrington, we regularly commute between Sarah Parker Remond House and Time Square for lectures, skills sessions. Currently, the lack of organization at the SIP Arpley Road car park has escalated into a major problem for both students and local workers. Because it is an affordable local option (£2.50 cash / £3.40 via the app), it is heavily relied upon by everyone. However, the complete lack of painted bays has created a chaotic environment where vehicles routinely double-park and block each other in. As the university previously highlighted in their email, if a student, member of staff, or member of the public had an emergency and needed to leave urgently, they would be completely trapped. I am launching this petition to ask the Chester Students’ Union and University Facilities team to engage with SIP Car Parks to make the site safer for everyone. Proposing, that the university either looks at funding to rent a partial block of the car park via a corporate lease or establishes a clearly designated Student Zone. By organizing our student parking into one clear area, it will restore structure to the rest of the lot, ensuring that both the public and students can park safely without facing gridlock.
