More yellow lines proposed for town

A shake-up of street parking in Rugby is set to be approved this week

More yellow lines could soon be on the way to streets in a Warwickshire town, with a shake-up of street parking set to be approved this week.

Warwickshire County Council's cabinet member for transport, Nigel Golby, is being recommended by council officers to approve new double yellow lines on parts of Adam Street, Balcombe Road, Lime Tree Avenue and Oliver Street, all in Rugby.

A resident-only parking zone on Worcester Street could be extended, although additional spaces could be made available on King Edward Road.

A report by the council said there had been objections to some of the proposals from members of the public.

The proposals for Adam Street received eight objections and one letter of support and Worcester Street had two objections alongside one letter of support.

However, all of the proposals were drawn up following requests from residents in the affected areas, looking to improve road safety at junctions or outside schools, or improve congested parking areas.

A consultation on the plans was launched in April.

Golby, a member of the Reform UK administration elected in May, will make the final decision whether to approve the plans at a meeting on Friday.
