Parking Restrictions proposed for Formby Village will be decided tomorrow

On 10 November Cllr John Fairclough, Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member - Locality Services will be asked to give approval for the introduction of Traffic Regulation Orders at various locations in Formby Village.

After objections raised over charges on Sumner Road Car Park, Formby, two surveys were commissioned for the Harington and Ravenmeols Wards and carried out in September 2015 and also in April 2017.

We are told that:- "In both surveys, special attention was also given to several areas where complaints had already been received, regarding obstructive and dangerous parking."

The latest survey results have shown that no parking displaced has happened into surrounding roads and now restrictions are required in some areas.

It is now planned to introduce a number of waiting restrictions on:- Halsall Lane, Gores Lane, Lonsdale Road, Rosemary Lane, Freshfield Road and also on Duke Street.
