VITAL TO PARK CONSIDERATELY TO ENSURE SMOOTH ACCESS FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES

Cllr Swinburn - parking plea to residents

PLEASE park considerately on the streets of North East Lincolnshire!

That's the plea of  the council's   portfolio holder for environment and transport, Cllr  Stewart Swinburn.

It follows instances where roads, in which cars or vans have been parked on both sides, have become impassable to emergency vehicles and dustcarts.

In line with authorities across the UK, North East Lincolnshire Council and its regeneration partner, Engie, need to continue to carry out crucial parking enforcement to keep the roads clear for emergency and essential services and for the overall safety of all road users and pedestrians.

Says Cllr Swinburn: "It is essential that we maintain civil enforcement and keep roads clear. 

"At a time when emergency services, waste operatives, volunteers and more are out serving our community, we must ensure that the roads are clear and safe for them to carry out their duties.

“By us all working together and supporting our local heroes as they continue to tackle the coronavirus situation, we will all get through this together."
