Idiotic Parking by Readymix Lorry

Sent to Lincolnshire County Council and South Holland District Council 2 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 797212.
At the long ongoing building works at the junctions of Cowbit Road and Love Lane at 3pm today there was a Concrete Mix Vehicle stationary and unattended but with hazard lights on facing the river, rear end in Love Lane and front in Cowbit Road, and some 8 feet or so from the LH kerb. This, together with the many other buliders vehicles parked in both roads, made it impossible to turn left into Cowbit Road safely! This general dangerous situation has been clearly evident for some weeks now and was in fact highlighted in the Local Press last week as apparently being totally ignored by the Police etc despite many complaints and a serious accident waiting to happen! Something urgently needs to be done to get those who are involved with this building site to use some common sense and ensure that all vehicles trying to turn left out of Love Lane have some sort of sight line into Cowbit Road so that traffic can exit and with safely! Also, at the moment, all people walking/wheel chairs/kids goin to and from School etc. trying to get from Love Lane to go left down Cowbit Road and visvera have no alternative but to do this in the middle of the road with traffic coming from 3 directions! This is a completely unacceptable, long standing and ongoing situation which must be resolve immediately! The Insurance Companies involved in any accident here will have a filed day!

Lorry's have to deliver to awkward places and it sounds as it was only temporary. not good for you blood pressure. Why hide your name if it bothers you so much?.

I do agree that this particular vehicle was a temporary situation, if you call 45 minute plus as such, but there is no excuse for this long standing situation since the general dangerous parking on this corner has now been going on for some 3 months: any way let's see what the Authorities do about it: they know who I am! As I have said its not just a driver problem but it seriously effects pedestrians as well particularly since there is no pavement on the riverside of Cowbit Road!

Work still going on but "common sense" appears to be being used a little more often!
