814 Verge Parking in Dangerous Locations pdf icon PDF 326 KB

Councillor Enright has raised concern about verge parking in dangerous locations including Crawley Road and Madley Park. The committee is asked to consider action to address this issue.

 

A document outlining the general enforcement position provided by Chris Hulme at TVP is attached for information.

Minutes:

The committee received correspondence from Cllr Enright concerning verge parking at dangerous locations including Crawley Road and Madley Park.

 

Members agreed this was a problem, emanating from the growth of Witney and the number of car users in each household. There was a possibility posts or planters could be installed in these areas, possibly funded from Councillor Priority Funds, but it was felt this might exacerbate the problem by shifting it to other areas.

 

The consensus was that residents and members should continue to contact the police and the committee would write to Thames Valley Police stressing the problem.

 

Resolved:

 

1.      That, the correspondence from Cllr Enright be noted, and

 

2.      That, the Committee contacts the police regarding the issue.
