The issue of the parking on the grass verges on Newton Road has been a hot topic for some time now.
We have agreed to have new bollards put in place between the entrance to Redland Park and the exit from Redland Park to stop the erosion of the grass verges.
Residents in this area have ample parking to the rear of their homes and have no need to park in front of their homes.
This work should take place later this year and the bollards will be of a design that will blend in with the local area.
We are also considering having having small pear trees installed on these verges to completely tidy up the area and will be consulting residents on this issue.
There may also be a small section that will need to have some grass Crete fitted and we are seeking funding for this.
This will be another of our six to fix issues that we promised residents that we would deal with.
