DOUBLE YELLOW LINES BECKON FOR HEALING IN WAKE OF ONGOING PUPIL SAFETY CONCERNS

                                               

Cllr Swinburn - road safety is paramount

ROAD safety concerns have prompted a new double yellow lines scheme for Healing.

North East Lincolnshire Council and its regeneration partner, Engie, confirmed today that they were to be introduced on sections of Low Road in the village.

Says an official: "The No-Waiting-at-Any-Time proposal follows near-miss incidents caused by parking issues around Healing Academy during drop-off and pick-up times.

"Double yellow lines will be installed on Low Road between the junction with the B1210 to just past the junction with The Avenue. 

"A second set will also be installed on Low Road on the approach to the mini roundabout."

Backing the initiative, NELC's portfolio holder for environment and transport, Cllr Stewart Swinburn, comments: “Local residents, the parish council and ward councillors have all expressed their road safety concerns about this issue and we have worked closely with them.

“Longer term, we continue to discuss potential improvements and how to address the issue. 

"Once a scheme is agreed by all parties, we will be engaging with residents prior to signing off any proposed scheme. 

"We remain committed to working with the school, police and local councillors to address these significant issues for the village.”

Civil enforcement officers will ensure compliance with these restrictions and will issue penalty charge notices to vehicles found to be waiting on the double yellow lines.
