Dear all,
Your Parish Council is still trying to get something done about problem parking in our village.
Some years ago, a scheme requiring double yellow lines throughout the village and along the access road was proposed, but it met with opposition from some businesses and some residents. Because there was no consensus, the scheme could not go forward.
The option of having double yellow lines still divides opinion, so we are trying to find some possible alternatives.
As an alternative start point for a scheme, how about at least designating some "no parking allowed" passing places on the village access road and some no parking areas at key "pinch points" in the village?
Or, does anyone have any other ideas or suggestions?
Could residents please email me at
theresagourlay@hotmail.com with ideas. I'd appreciate inputs by June 15th, so that I can collate everything and communicate back to you on options.
In particular, if we go ahead with the suggested alternative, please help identify where passing places should be and where the key "pinch points" are within our village.
Your inputs will help me to go back to the PC with a concrete proposal as an alternative to blanket yellow lines.
If residents wish to form a committee on this topic, then I can facilitate this as well.
Thanks for your time,
Theresa Strawson
