There are demarcated parking areas on this street, and areas where parking is dangerous due to a couple of pinch points on the apex of a tight bend in the road. With a closing speed of 60 mph on a blind corner, the parking of vehicles in this location is very dangerous. Just watching for a few minutes, I have already observed multiple occasions of hard/emergency braking, and one parked car with its wing mirror already smashed off - presumably due to emergency avoiding action. There is also a girl guide/brownies hut less than 50m away with frequent young girls crossing the road at precisely this point. There a white road markings indicating the prohibition of parking, but clearly being ignored at the expense of children's safety.

Updates

  • This has been passed to the Parking Services Team.

    Subject to available resources, a civil enforcement officer (traffic warden) will go and assess, and if a vehicle is parked in contravention of a parking restriction, a penalty charge notice may be issued.
