This week we have had a lot of complaints about
parking. As
everyone knows parking is one of the biggest problems in
the town and one of the most controversial issues. We
have been asked by a lot of delivery drivers to remind all
of you, including people with disabilities, to think before
parking. The problem facing delivery drivers can be
seen here. A orange badge holder had parked on the
corner, (just out of shot) restricting the turn of the delivery
vans into the narrow road. Also, after the driver
below skillfully negotiated the very tight turn, he was
faced with two non- disabled drivers parked on both sides of
the road blocking his path yet further. This caused a bottle
neck that affected the lights at Lord Street! The
driver of this car was nowhere to be seen for a good 30
mins. So this affected the delivery driver's schedule
and the traffic stuck behind him. So, please take that
extra moment to consider and park sensibly. If you must for some
genuine reason stop on the double
yellow lines, remember they are there for a reason! You
might be causing a problem. Keep an eye on your car, so that
you can move it should this happen!
