The free parking limit on spaces in Bigby Street, Brigg, may now be extended to one hour.
North Lincolnshire Council is to consult the public over the added time, which will give drivers longer to visit town centre businesses.
It was earlier suggested that the current 20 minutes might be upped to 40.
But now Brigg Blog understands the intention is to make it a full hour.
Brief details were announced at the monthly meeting of Brigg Town Council, when other parking issues were raised.
Coun Ann Eardley said congestion was being caused by parking near the new Children’s Centre on Grammar School Road – close to Colton Street and Glebe Road.
Coun Jackie Brock pointed out poor parking was also taking place in Ash Grove, close to Barnard Avenue.
It has been said that NLC's Highways 'don't have concrete roads' in reference to Spring Way.
ReplyDeleteIt is claimed that the road, because it nature, comes under the auspices of 'Estates'.
So who is responsible for the concrete roads about Ash Grove, Birch Ave, Elm Way?
Over the years, the concrete seems to have stood up well, but utility contractors have inlaid trenches with tarmac...the roads are a mess...especially Elm Way, which looks like that somebody has dropped a lorry load of tarmac from a 1000 feet!
It observed that a number of cars are parked on the grass verge...instead of Jobs-Worths jumping up and down, it would make possibly make sense to create proper parking lay-bys in-lieu of the verges.
If Tesco/Lidl gets the go-ahead..some very sensible and considerable thought has to be given so Birch Ave's rat-run doesn't become a stampede.
Bring back THE BIRCH to deter them?
