As residents of Beattock Rise, we would like to correct the information given in your letter from Alex Casale (Parking control decision has addressed residents' concerns', July 15).

Mr Casale credited Labour intervention as having been instrumental in the council's agreement to establish a controlled parking scheme in the Rise.

Labour did get in touch with the council in putting forward our request but without the persistent and hands-on' efforts of Liberal Democrat councillor Gail Engert, I suspect we might still be waiting for a result.

We would like to thank Councillor Engert and trust that you will make clear that we are indebted to her for her many visits and concerned efforts on our behalf.
