The following is adapted from an Isle of Wight Council press release…

Changes to parking restrictions covering multiple locations across the Newport and Carisbrooke area are included in a new consultation published by Isle of Wight Council.

Among the proposals are:

• Grange Drive and Vicarage Walk – the council proposes extending the existing parking restriction and cover the junction to improve access, visibility and safety when exiting and entering this narrow lane.
• Hunnyhill – near junction with Worsley Road, and with Hookes Way – the council is proposing that the old “Limited waiting” parking restriction in this road is not sufficient anymore, and that both junctions are overparked. A new “No waiting at any time” restriction is proposed to cover the junctions and improve visibility, access and safety.
• Hogan Road – There was an old “No waiting at any time” parking restriction in this location, which was removed while ago and the lines are no longer on site; nothing is being changed other than to remove the old legal order.
• Worsley Road – the double yellow line will be extended as the existing fire hydrant needs protection as any vehicle parked over it will be blocking its use by the Fire Services.

The consultation finishes on Friday, 3 November.

Important: Comments of support and objections can only be legally considered if a full address is given whether the response comes in by letter, email or by online survey.
