As residents start to move into the new houses in Rennie Close, your Liberal Democrat councillors have been investigating parking restrictions to keep the road safe.

Currently parking restrictions stop at the gateway to the development, allowing the possibility of dangerous parking within the development when construction is complete. As the access road is narrow there is no space for safe parking, despite huge demand within the Lime Grove Gardens area. Therefore the whole close will need double yellow lines; residents will have reserved parking and garages.

A Traffic Regulation Order restricting parking has been prepared by BathNES Council and will be implemented when the development is complete and when double yellow lines can be built. At the same time the temporary arrangements for Lime Grove Gardens will be lifted, probably in January 2014.
