Proposed 30 min waiting restriction

[arthurx1234]

1st post, looked at the various sub forums and this seems to be the most appropriate

I live just off a main road and 3 years ago the council constructed a layby with room for 5 cars to park, my son parks his car in it.

There is a post office on this main road and the owner has submitted a petition to the council asking for parking to be restricted to 30mins as he says his customers cannot park in the layby for other cars and his takings have suffered and he might have to close.

If the council does this then the car owners that use this layby will have to find other places to park, I live on a single carriageway road and despite the claims by the Post Office owner his customers do not use the layby but park outside my driveway and block my acces while they go in the post office for stamps etc

I have numerous photos of cars blocking my access whilst the lay by is empty

Any advice on how i can make the council see sense?

thanks
Arthur

The proposal will surely be subject to consultation, keep an eye out for yellow signs on lamposts, they will have details of how to lodge a dispute.

Are they parking outside of your house because the layby is full of resident's cars?

The reason the customers are not using the parking bay is that people park in it all day customers have to park on the road where you live. Surely this will be better for you?
