Council launches consultation on new parking restrictions in Bamburgh
New parking restrictions are being proposed in Bamburgh after concerns were raised by local residents.
A public consultation has opened on the introduction of double yellow lines on Front Street Back Lane, a road behind the Lord Crewe restaurant.
A notice from Northumberland County Council’s highways department states: “Residents have contacted the county council raising concerns regarding inconsiderate parking on Front Street Back Lane which is causing obstruction and preventing access for residents and other road users.
“As a result of this, the county council is proposing to add additional double yellow lines along the back lane to alleviate the problem.”
Comments on the proposal can be sent via email to [email protected]
The consultation closes on Friday, March 13.
A number of new parking restrictions have been approved in the village in recent months, including double yellow lines on a 280m stretch of the B1341 Lucker Road to prevent roadside parking which causes traffic obstructions and damages verges.
