Additional yellow lines have been sanctioned in Brigg to create further no parking areas for motorists.
North Lincolnshire Council, the highway authority, has approved No Waiting At Any Time areas for the following:
West Terrace - at its junction with Bridge Street.
Forrester Street - midway along.
Manley Gardens - midway along.
Elwes Street - at its junction with The Bottlings and Paradise Place.
Elwes Street - adjacent to Ancholme Gardens and across the nearby bridge (Candley Beck).
These additions were approved within the council to take effect from November 23 and have been notified to the public by way of signs on lamp-posts.
One section of the notice produced for these Brigg streets says: "If you wish to question the validity of the Order or any provision contained in it on the grounds that it is not within the powers of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, or that a requirement of that Act or any instrument made under it has not been complied with you may, within six weeks from the date on which the order was made, make application for that purpose to the High Court."
Brigg Blog does not imagine there will be a queue forming outside the court clerk's office, wherever it is. But you never know...

Although I accept that on-street parking in these area have become a problem, the consequent is likely to displace on-street parking to other areas of the town - Albert St immediately springs to mind.
ReplyDeleteI suggest that many of town on-street parkers are Brigg's workforce - despite the 2 hour free parking concession - are still faced with potentially, quite significant parking fees.
Similar workers park on the (Tesco-owned) waste land behind Riverside Surgery - but this unofficial facility is only temporal.
Perhaps there is now a need to examine the need for a cheap, all-day parking area away, but within a reasonable walking distance from Brigg's Central Business District - ie ?Station Rd....or even allow registered Brigg workers to use the extensive car-park behind Hewson House. (What is annoying to some residents, is that some NLC staff, with concessionary parking permits, use Albert St for on-street parking!)
On a separate, but associated issue, I can now see a further demand for the extention of Residents' Parking Scheme in certain parts of Brigg.
Finally, I assume that the recently formed Monitoring Committee, evolved from the recommendations of the Brigg Community-Led Plan, have been involved in such discussions...
