Illegal Parking

Unfortunately there are some selfish and uncaring individuals who park their vehicles illegally often on pavements. The Parish Council actively discourages this not only because it contravenes traffic regulations but more importantly on safety grounds. 

Blocked sight lines onto major roads (especially the A35) can cause serious accidents. Illegal parking can prevent emergency vehicles (fire engines and ambulances) from accessing fires or seriously ill / injured persons.

There have even been cases of rubbish/recycling collection vehicles not being able to carry out their collections.

NB The owner of any vehicle that has to be removed by the emergency services will be fully liable for any consequences and also any damage caused to their vehicle during the removal. They may also be subject to a fine.

Below - Public Notice for the installation of the yellow lines in Butt Farm Close (WA) - this seems to have eased the problem that was being experienced in this area.
