Parking restrictions are to be introduced in a residential area of Nottinghamshire to combat obstructive parking. Nottinghamshire County Council will now introduce measures following an increase in complaints from residents about parking obstructing visibility and movement in the area.
Double yellow lines will be installed along King’s Mill Lane and at junctions of Millersdale Avenue, Featherstone Close and Randol Close, close to King’s Mill Reservoir in Sutton-in-Ashfield. A spokesperson for the county council said parking issues have increased following the reintroduction of parking charges at King’s Mill Reservoir’s car park, and the county council will also change existing parking bays on King’s Mill Lane to restricted parking from Monday to Saturday between 8am and 6pm.
The council said restricted parking bays will allow visitors to access the reservoir to park for two hours and will allow any residents without off-street parking to use the area in the evening. Councillor Neil Clarke, cabinet member for transport and environment at Nottinghamshire County Council, said: “This is great news for residents, who have told us that obstructive parking in their area is affecting other vehicles and pedestrians.
