After increasing pressure from residents saying that they are fed up with some residents constantly parking on double yellow lines or across pavements both the Police and the Council have agreed to take some action.
The council who are responsible for illegal parking on the Highway will be enforcing the double yellow lines that are in place and persistent offenders will receive heavy fines, ( remember a double yellow line is enforceable if you park on a grass verge or pavement behind the yellow lines ).
The Police have reluctantly agreed to prosecute persistent offenders who are parking on the pavements in local roads, Some residents have already received warning notices about pavement parking so if they continue they are liable for hefty fines.
It has to be remembered that in Twerton we have many people with severe mobility problems or issues with vision parking on the pavement puts them at risk.
Please be considerate about how you park on our local roads to ensure that we all stay safe, particularly the vulnerable and young children.
