Bathwick Cllr Nicholas Coombes and North East Somerset parliamentary candidate Gail Coleshill have been working together to extend the parking restrictions on the Warminster Road.
Since residents’ parking was introduced in Minster Way, communter parking has moved onto the main road. Most parking is on the North-West (MoD) side, but there are gaps in the double yellow lines on the South-East side. Parking here, between Trossach’s Drive and Minster Way, reduces carriageway width preventing lorries from passing.
Council traffic staff have now visited the site and are drawing up plans to fill in the restrictions gap on the South-East. In a compensatory measure, some spaces may be created on the North-West side. Local councillor Nicholas Coombes has urged them to press ahead with this work, following the concerns expressed by local residents. Gail Coleshill has been speaking to Bathampton residents about the problem which affects their journey into Bath.
PS – the photo is from the Summer when we first raised this. There were no parked cars then as it was mid-holiday time for most commuters!
