HGVs are becoming an increasing problem in Impington when they park in residential areas where there aren't the necessary facilities for drivers.

Its a problem affecting more than just Impington, being made worse by the closure of laybys on main roads.

Thanks to a combined effort, this was taken to the relevant County Council Committee (the South Cambridgeshire Traffic Management Area Joint Committee) that met on 7th July (details).

The decision was:

- consider parking controls to address lorry parking in residential streets in Impington, and other villages adjacent to the strategic road network.

- continue to work with other agencies to provide more appropriate locations for lorry parking as soon as possible.

Which is good news!

Milton PC wanted to get double yellow lines at the bottom of the Jane Coston bridge. That's for a safety issue, not an environmental one, and despite that it took several years to get them. Among the problems they encountered was the claim that the police wouldn't enforce them - they ended up getting our local bobby to write in support of them!
