Sadly I have to report the problems caused by drivers parking on yellow lines on the island at Kingstanding Circle have not been solved.
The Transportation department have erected railings to prevent drivers parking their cars at this location to fetch take aways and the like but have had to leave gaps for deliveries for the shops. This has led to some drivers still parking at this site obstructing traffic and making it dangerous for all concerned.
I have requested that planters on the near by pavement which add to the confusion be moved and consideration urgently be given to closing the gaps. I have also suggested a chain or lockable barrier be put in place and keys given to the shop owners only in order for them to manage their deliveries.
Red lines could also be considered but as the double yellow lines there already are being ignored this may not be an answer?
What ever is done something needs to be done urgently.
The Police have told me they are struggling with the issue and the railing need finishing off although what has been put in place is what they wanted.
Once again I would ask all those parking on edge of Kingstanding Circle to collect a takeaway to use the near by free car park.
