New restrictions proposed 'to improve the turnover of vehicles' in Blyth car park
Plans have been lodged to introduce time limited stays at a Blyth car park.
A public consultation has been launched on the proposal for the King Street car park.
Drivers can currently park all day free of charge but Northumberland County Council is planning to introduce a two-hour limit.
Its consultation notice states: ‘Northumberland County Council intends to amend the limited waiting off-street car park restrictions at King Street Car Park in Blyth to a maximum stay of 2 hours, with no return within 3 hours, between the hours of 8am-6pm on all days, in order to improve the turnover of vehicles in the car park.’
Comments on the proposal can be made via email to: [email protected] before August 20.
Meanwhile, the council is also consulting on a proposal to introduce ‘No Waiting at Any Time’ (double yellow lines) parking restrictions on the east side of Cowley Road in Blyth to improve road safety, following concerns regarding obstructive and indiscriminate parking. Comments can be made to the same email address, again by August 20.
