Hazardous parking near the railway bridge in New Street Hill

There is an increasing problem resulting from cars parking opposite numbers 17 - 25 in New Street Hill.

Although allotment holders have a gated entrance into the allotments some are parking in this part of the road and some people may be parking their cars here and going elsewhere to work. At the moment there are often builders vehicles parked outside the house which is being renovated. Residents of houses around these parked cars are having problems reversing safely out of their drives.

In addition, on business days, the spaces in the area provided on the other side of the bridge are fully used. Vehicles coming under the bridge may end up on the wrong side of the road and  are confronted with cars parked on both sides of the road and other cars coming towards the bridge from the estate.

On Monday a resident's car from 17 New Street Hill was hit due to the congested road. All drivers using this section of road need to take extra care to avoid any further accidents.
