Details of proposal
Over a prolonged period, concerns have been raised with the Council over indiscriminate parking on Roughwood Drive. During site observations, it was noted that parked vehicles were compromising visibility and creating safety concerns.
Following the national Future Schools Programme which involved amalgamating schools there was increased vehicular and pedestrian movements associated with school on Roughwood Drive. This resulted in the changes to waiting restrictions and traffic calming to mitigate this impact. More recently further complaints have been raised regarding parking and safety.
To prevent indiscriminate parking from taking place, it is proposed that Prohibition of Waiting and No Stopping on Entrance Markings (Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm) restrictions at Roughwood Drive, Kirkby, are formalised, as shown on the below location plan.
Location plan
The current restrictions alongside proposed new arrangements, are in the interests of pedestrian safety and are expected to continue to positively affect indiscriminate parking at this location. It is therefore proposed to progress the restrictions as consulted on.
