Tackling Double Parking on Saunders Street

A number of residents have raised concerns about the on-going problems of getting into and out of their drives as a  result of cars parking on both sides of Saunders Street.  This problem is made worse since Saunders Street is one of the first roads from the town centre which has no parking restrictions meaning that many people who work or visit Southport use this road as a car park.

In response to this, I have visited the site with Dave Marrin from the Highways Team of Sefton Council to see what options are available to resolve this on-going problem. 

Mr Marrin has explained that although he can understand the problem, the situation does not meet the requirements set for the Council to take action.  However, if as a ward councillor, I can demonstrate that residents of Saunders Street support the introduction of some form of parking restriction, possibly limiting car parking to one side of the road only, then the council would be prepared to investigate the matter further.


As a result I am asking residents of Saunders Street if the would support the introduction of some form of parking restriction.
