Residents on a street in Wollaton plagued by motorists lining the pavements with their cars have praised a new permit scheme. The mother of a 17-year-old who uses a wheelchair says life is now much safer for him as the road stands almost completely empty.
Wollaton west councillor Steve Battlemuch helped secure funding for a permit scheme in Parkside and nearby roads on the western side of Wollaton Hall and Deer Park. Residents say their streets had been plagued by parked cars, particularly during the coronavirus pandemic as people flocked to popular outdoor spaces.
The scheme has since been implemented and anyone without a permit who parks between the hours of 8am and 8pm will be fined. Some have praised the scheme, but others have condemned it as a problem for those visiting family members.
