A large blue transit van is parking close to the junction of Star Lane and Firs Lane. It is impossible for cars leaving Star Lane to see right up the road and cars overtaking this van are not able to see anything coming from the left. I have reported this problem as I could forsee an accident. On Friday 1st April an accident involving 2 cars, police, ambulance and fire brigade was caused by the lack of visability leaving Star Lane. There are more and more vans being parked here by non reisdents, it is being seen as a convenient place to park. It is not and is causing a danger which has now been proven. The Large Blue van moves occasionally and belongs to 3 Firs Lane. It was a Canon Hygiene van, the stickers have been removed. Many of the vans being left here are large, contain a pick up often with a vehicle on the back. This is dangerous to all residents in Star lane, Wood Cottage Lane and Firs Lane and also pedestrians.
