We came down Bigby Street in Brigg yesterday and noticed these temporary no parking cones are still in place.
You may have seen Brigg Blog's earlier posting about the cones being put in place because after North Lincolnshire Council had revamped the adjoining zebra crossing, the painted-on hatched markings were being mistaken for extra parking bays by some motorists. The cones were put down while the council decides how best to proceed from here.
We have looked at these lines from a distance and close up - from both sides of Bigby Street - and find it difficult to fathom how motorists can consider them designated places in which to park. You'd need a very narrow car to get between the lines - a Smart, perhaps. However, motor-cycles could be propped up quite comfortably.
We couldn't help noticing the sign below on a wall in nearby Station Road - erected to instruct those motorists using North Lincolnshire Council's main staff car park behind Hewson House.
As a solution to the current impasse, why not just put up a couple of red and white signs near the Bigby Street zebra crossing, saying No Parking Permitted - Do NOT Park in the Hatched Areas.
