Selfish parking in Newham Close?
George Cockman, Steyning’s Independent District Councillor, has just passed me a complaint from a local resident in Newham Close who reports that she was unable to get her car out of the Close recently, because of parking on both sides of the road.She writes that this has been getting worse for some time with residents from other roads using the Close for parking; it would not be possible for emergency vehicles to access houses in the Close.
Since this is a County Council and Police matter, George has asked the Police to have a look at the situation, and I have asked the Local Traffic Engineer to investigate whether a Traffic Regulation Order, restricting parking in the area, should be considered.
