Crackdown on bus-blocking parking on six streets
Lancashire County Council will bring in new restrictions on six streets
- Published
Highways chiefs are to crackdown on residents whose parking blocks buses from getting down streets.
Round-the-clock bans on waiting will be brought in parts of Preston, with double-yellow lines expected to follow.
Thorntrees Avenue, Thornpark Drive, Hawthorn Crescent, Parkthorn Road, Campion Drive and The Campions - all off the A5085 Blackpool Road in Lea - will be included in the scheme.
The restrictions will cover tight bends, areas close to junctions and other narrow sections of roads.
Lancashire County Council said the move was planned "to prevent vehicles from parking obstructively and creating problems with bus manoeuvres".
A consultation on the plans ends on Friday.
