Unnecessary new No Parking restriction

Unnecessary and inappropriate "no parking" sign on layby that has been used for many decades without problem. Layby is the only place for walkers and fishers to park for access to the riverbank, a popular path. Inability to park there in the most suitable and historically established place forces people to park in less appropriate places, mashing the lane's verges or blocking proivate accesses. It is claimed that the householder opposite had access problems due to parking there but none of the previous househoders there have reported problems in the past, neither have emergency services or the dustcart. Council gave planning permission for the driveway in question some 20 years ago - so they clearly saw no problem. It is not right that one NIMBY can move into an area and have removed a local amenity that hs been in use for fifty - sixty years.
