Statutory consultation
We have received reports from residents regarding obstructive parking in Heathfield Drive area. In response to these reports we are proposing to introduce waiting restrictions (double yellow lines) to address obstructive parking and assist with movement of traffic. The proposed waiting restriction measures aim to improve safety, visibility and provide clear access for all road users, this is particularly important for emergency service vehicles (ambulance and fire engines) and our refuse collection service vehicles.

Please note that responses to any representations received will not be made until a final decision is made by the Cabinet Member. Once a decision is made by the Cabinet Member residents will be informed accordingly.
