The main problem is caused by parking on corners and bends, making it difficult to see past the parked vehicles.  As several people put it, 'accidents waiting to happen'.  Some cars park with two wheels on the pavement, presumably trying to be helpful to other road users.  However, it's clear from the survey responses that this in turn is causing problems by partially blocking the pavement for pedestrians and pram and mobility scooter users.

Lots of ideas and suggestions were put forward.  Most popular were parking restrictions by road junctions and on a number of corners.  Whilst some were in favour of leaflets reminding people of a 'parking courtesy code', others stressed the need for road adoption and then council and police enforcement.  Parking permits for residents were not supported by many people!

Kate Rolfe, county councillor for Alveston Ward, is pressing the legal departments at both the county and district councils to agree a date for adoption of the roads on Trinity Mead.  She has also been discussing the issues with the police and the councils to find solutions to the problems raised.  Our thanks to everyone who let us have their views by responding to the survey.
