Double Yellow lines on New Road finally arrive

The County Council have now put in place the double yellow lines along one side of New Road.

This was funded by a scheme focused on keeping buses moving through the village and was consulted on last year; due consideration was taken of comments received including some objections. A similar scheme on Cambridge Road has not proceeded.

The lines are along the side of the road which is very rarely used for parking, and in that sense merely forces ‘normality’; however there have been regular problems during specific events in the area where both buses have been unable to get through and which would prevent emergency access to the events themselves.

Double yellow lines also apply to the pavement and verge behind them.

Parking is a contentious issue in many parts of the villages and residents near IVC report being having their drives blocked on occasions. The Parish Council’s Highways Committee is developing a parking strategy and policy. This would encourage parking with consideration and not on pavements – which causes problems for more vulnerable road users – including pedestrians, pushchairs and mobility scooters.

  1. With due respect to this scheme, I was wondering who is going to Police it. I have noticed that nobody is doing so on they village green, where vehicles are regularly parked for longer than the permitted time limits. Schemes are only as good as the administration of them which follows.
