Lower Bristol Road Parking

In March this year we met with Highways officers to discuss options for restricting parking and making crossing the Lower Bristol Road safer. 

We discussed the option of putting in additional parking bays and restricting the parking on the rest of this stretch of road with double yellow lines as per the plan below.

We have responded to these options stating that we do not think parking opposite the turning into the bus depot is suitable and also asked for costings for a light controlled crossing to be installed.

The risk of not putting in any additional parking on this stretch of road would mean there is even more opportunity of speeding on a wide open road.

We have chased up progress on this as we feel it is now become an urgent issue and does meet the criteria for improving walking routes.

We will provide a further update as soon as we have received an up to date response from the Highways team.
