Eastbury residents oppose Hillingdon First card
A PETITION containing almost 1,000 signatures has been handed into Hillingdon Council opposing a scheme that gives privileges to the borough's residents.
Residents of Eastbury, an area in Three Rivers next to Northwood, presented the 920-signature petition to the council on Monday (29).
They are against the Hillingdon First card scheme because they are being excluded from it, even though they shop in Northwood.
It means they now have to pay twice the amount to park in the borough and they do not get discount being offered by some shops.
Elizabeth Willetts, chairman of Eastbury Residents' Association, said: "When we started the petition we didn't know about the discount in shops, so we have just asked the council to get rid of the extra parking charges."

motorist carrying a blue disabled card in Hillingdon Park free. In a Watford car park often used by myself and my partner we find ourselves paying a normal fee. NOT a place for the disabled to go to.
