Parking on Grass Verges and Pavements

COMPLAINTS RECEIVED REGARDING PARKING ON GRASS VERGES AND PAVEMENTS IN MUNDFORD

The Parish Council receives a number of complaints on this issue every year.  Unfortunately it has no power to stop residents and their visitors parking on the verges and pavements in and around Mundford.  Complaints are duly referred to the Norfolk County Council Highways Department for attention but in these times of austerity there is little or no money available to reinstate grass verges damaged by vehicle traffic.  In addition to that, the parked vehicles are often left in positions that impede pedestrian traffic forcing people to walk through mud or worse still in the road.

The Parish Council would therefore like to encourage residents and visitors alike to refrain from parking on the verges and pavements around the village and help make the village a more attractive and safer place to live and work.
