Dear Resident, ,…………………………………………………………………(June 2011)
Could I draw your attention to an area of concern that has been raised with the Parish Council.
As a village, we have very good bus services that are valued by a large proportion of our residents, many of whom are elderly or do not have access to private transport. These buses circulate around the village along a variety of side and narrow roads, drives, streets, etc.
Unfortunately, it appears that on some occasions buses are being prevented from continuing along their route due to inappropriate parking which makes the road too narrow for a bus to get through. This leads to frustration for the driver and passengers alike and also for the road user who has to be persuaded to move his/her vehicle. More importantly – if a bus is unable to proceed, what would happen should an emergency vehicle need to use that route? The consequences could be catastrophic!
If you reside or work on a bus route within the village and need to park your vehicle on the road, please give due consideration to the way you park and where you park, for the sake of everyone.
Thanking you for your time. ……………………………………… Councillor Mrs. Barbara Breakwell
