Parking ban planned for these residential roads in West Lancashire after bin lorries blocked
Yellow lines are to be painted on several residential roads in West Lancashire after bin lorries were blocked by bad parking.
Lancashire County Council is proposing to introduce restrictions on stretches of Alty’s Lane, Brook Lane, Ravenscroft Avenue and Elm Place in Ormskirk.
It follows complaints from West Lancashire Borough Council that their refuse wagons had been unable to access parts of their collection rounds.
A County Hall report says highways officials visited the area on several occasions and, each time, witnessed parking on bends and in ways “ limiting the road width”.
The county council has drawn up plans for ‘no waiting at any time’ rules to be introduced in the area in order to “remove obstructive parking and assist in the general movement of traffic”.
A public consultation into the plans is being carried out beforehand and anybody wishing to comment should email [email protected], quoting ref:LSG4/894.21684/AFR, by 12th March. Alternative submissions can be made in writing to: Director of Law and Governance, Lancashire County Council, PO Box 100, County Hall, Preston, PR1 0LD.
