New parking regulations are set to come into effect in Bamber Bridge, after the local council responded to a series of complaints from people in the area.

The notoriously busy junction at Club Street and Station Road has been the subject of a number of grievances from local businesses and Lancashire County Council has decided now is the time to act.

It will implement a 'No waiting at any time' policy in the roads in question in a bid to tackle the problem of obstructive parking, reports the Lancashire Evening Post. The council hopes the decision will improve sight lines for motorists, making the area a safer place for both drivers and pedestrians.

A report on the matter has been published and it explained Club Street is a busy access route as it is used by people heading to a nearby industrial estate. As such, the busy junction in question is frequently used by both cars and HGVs.

Some suggestions reveal the problem centres around smaller vehicles parking on the north side of the junction, blocking the view for some motorists and ensuring lorries and trucks cannot come in and out of Club Street.

Restrictions will now come into force in 54 metres of Club Street from the point at which it meets Station Road. There will also be six metres of space in Station Road in which no vehicle will be allowed to park.

County councillor David Watts, who represents Bamber Bridge, said: "Anything that helps is welcome news. I am happy about it."

The local authority might be wise to recruit for parking jobs & employ new traffic wardens and parking attendants in a bid to ensure the rules are adhered to by drivers, especially in the first few months when the restrictions are still new to people.

Introducing parking regulations in any town can be a good way to improve safety, control the flow of traffic and increase revenues.
