Shared space parking restrictions set to begin
Comments |
Parking restrictions on Ashford’s shared space start this
weekend – meaning motorists can be fined up to £70 for parking on
it.
The enforcement comes into effect from Sunday. Drivers who have
taken advantage of the scheme’s 'clutter free’ philosophy will have
to look for other places to park.
The restrictions, which include parking in taxi ranks, bus lanes
and not paying for pay-and-display bays, have been expected to come
into force since January.
There will be no yellow lines marking the restrictions as the
Department for Transport decided that the area should have no
markings, and with signs at a minimum. The warnings will be
indicated by signs at the entrances.
Over the past few weeks, people parking on the shared space have
been given flyers warning them that if they park there from Sunday
they will be fined.
The shared space restricted parking zone includes the following
roads: Apsley Street, Bank Street, East Street, Elwick Road, Elwick
Square, Forge Lane, Gasworks Lane, Godinton Road, Godinton Way,
Middle Street, Norwood Gardens, Regents Place, Queen Street, Tufton
Street and West Street.
