On the verge of stopping

Cars parking on grass verges is something that really me as a councillor as it isn't an issue that can be easily be resolved.

Many of the grass verges in West Shoebury do not have yellow lines which means a PCN can not issued to the driver.

The police are also powerless to stop this unless in the unlikely event that they catch the vehicle actually driving onto the pavement.

The good news is that this little annoyance may soon be resolved. From the 1st April new legislation means that any parking on the grass verges with or without yellow lines will mean that vehicles will be issued with a PCN.

Delaware Road will be piloting the new legislation and if successful will be rolled out across the borough.
