Traffic controls planned following requests from local people.

Saturday 21 November 2009




For many people parking restrictions are a pain. However in the vast majority of instances they serve an essential service making sure that traffic can flow freely.

The two schemes above have come about because local people felt that the way these areas were being used with cars and vans parking on bends and near a roundabout was dangerous.

The first is the Roundabout linking Richmond Street, Jack Lane and Lees Park Way. A regular occurrence is to see vans parked right up to the junction.

The second is along Williamson Lane and Ellen Street which is behind the doctor’s surgery on Ashton Road. Cars regularly park here inconsiderately blocking exits and by parking on the bends, causing real difficulty passing.

If you want to comment to the Council on these schemes you need to do so before December 6th 2009.
