PARKING PROBLEMS PROBE


BRIDGE STREET LONG EATON

Derbyshire County Council are to look into the parking problems in Bridge Street Long Eaton and the surrounding area in the new year. Highways officials are of the opinion that more spaces could be freed up for residents without resorting to a residents only scheme. Cllr Margaret Griffiths and I have been campaigning for changes to be implemented to benefit local people. Not only is it sometimes damned annoying for residents not to be able to park near their homes but it is reflected in property prices. Thus adding insult to injury. We are also asking for the one-way system in Hamilton Road to be looked at because some residents would prefer the direction to be switched to avoid the Bridge Street junction where visibility is a problem.
Perhaps it could be good news in the new year, but proper consultation is needed as well as innovative solutions aimed at maintaining and enhancing safety and security. We look forward to progress.
