ACTION PLANNED AGAINST DRIVERS WHO PARK ON PAVING IN BRIGG

Official action is planned in Brigg in an effort to stop drivers from parking vehicles on a paved area at the eastern end of Wrawby Street. 

Enforcement comes amid concerns about damage being caused to the York stone slabs.
Brigg Town Council's meeting held last night (Tuesday, June 22) was the third time this issue had appeared on the agenda for discussion in recent months.
Coun Penny Smith said it was time to stop people from parking there. She suggested sheer laziness was the cause; they could not be bothered to walk from the main car park nearby!
Coun Rob Waltham, who is the leader of North Lincolnshire Council which is the local highway authority, said this was "an issue of enforcement" and the only way to resolve it was to issue fines.
He pointed out that the Highway Code stated drivers were not supposed to park on paths.
It is now expected that enforcement officers will monitor the area.
As many as four vehicles have been observed at a time parked on this area of paving in recent months. This is mainly an issue in the evenings, and particularly at weekends.
