The “Temporary” Yellow Lines in The Village Removal - is it finally going to happen?
For the past three years or so Roger, and latterly myself, have badgered the Council, chased up, flagged up, walked round with Highways Officers, drawn up lists and so on, in the cause of the removal of the “Temporary” yellow lines installed because of the stabilisation work needed around particular areas of the village. The yellow lines were signed off to be removed a long time ago, and finally, after repeatedly raising the issue (plus a string of other highways jobs in Combe Down) and our questions to Charles Gerrish, the Cabinet Member responsible at last weeks Cabinet Meeting, and further contact with The Parking Manager, we have now been told the work will be scheduled for August.
Seeing is believing of course… but one of the big hold ups was that a Traffic Regulation Order had to be advertised, which included other parking changes in other areas, and objections to those meant a further delay. The removal of these lines will allow a few more parking places along from the School towards the Summer Lane junction, and one or two elsewhere.
