Mercedes van parked causing a blind-spot

Reported via mobile anonymously at 16:59, Wed 8 November 2023

Sent to Darlington Borough Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5189605.

I'd like to draw attention to a recurring issue involving a Mercedes van that is regularly parked at the intersection of Camborne Drive and the beginning of Helston Close. The consistent presence of this van is causing a potential safety hazard as it obstructs the view, leading to near accidents.

A significant number of residents in our area share these concerns, as this parked van creates a blind spot for drivers trying to navigate in and out of Helston Close. As a resident of Helston Close, the constant presence of the Mercedes van at the Camborne Drive junction leaves me consistently apprehensive about the potential risks.

We kindly request that the parking of this van in this specific location be reconsidered. Our collective safety is at risk, and we hope that taking action now can help avert any potential accidents that may result from this ongoing issue.

  • Another course of action would be taking this up with your new green councillors to have a two pronged approach

  • I did report this. A woman did say she came and spoke to the owner of the vehicle. He parked a little further back but now it’s back to how he parked.
