Following numerous and significant complaints from residents living on Coniston Road and surrounding roads we, the Neighbourhood Policing Team, are undertaking positive action with respect to parking problems occurring on Saturday mornings.
The public footpath does form part of the highway and as such can be obstructed by the parking of vehicles on the pavement. Please ensure that wherever you park your vehicle it does not block the pavement or cause the road to be narrowed to such an extent as to prevent emergency vehicles from gaining access.
We would like to advise you that instances of obstruction parking, such as parking vehicles on the pavement, parking within 10 metres of a road junction, illegal parking on the yellow lines or parking on the road which causes an obstruction is an offence and will be liable to fixed penalty notice being issued.
This policy is an attempt for the police to work with the local community to resolve these considerable issues which are adversely affecting the area.
Please do NOT:
Obstruct the pavement;
Obstruct the road;
Park within 10 metres of a road junction;
Disregard the parking restrictions indicated.
Thank you for your help and cooperation.
