Double yellow lines to be reviewed

 

 

The city council review of yellow lines in Henleaze is now underway. Householders affected by the new parking restrictions, which brought protests that many of them were unnecessary, have been given the opportunity to comment on them.

The council say the consultation “will be used to review the restrictions and develop a revised scheme that better reflects the needs of residents and businesses in the area”.

As the review deadline was reached 550 responses had been received. Any changes, which could involve removing all or part of some lines, could start early in the New Year.

The council say that in carrying out the review it is “important to consider the various types of users of the highway and try to find a balance between their needs”.

One aspect of the restrictions the council will be re-examining during the review is the length of yellow lines at road junctions.

They say in some cases “where appropriate” the lines can be restricted to five metres at junctions.

Cabinet Member for Transport Jon Rogers, told a recent council meeting in response to a question that the review had so far cost £2,680.

To a further question about the cost of any changes to the lines he said it costs approximately £1.20 a metre to remove them. Over 5000 metres of yellow lines were laid.
