Ban on coach parking appears to be working

The Vauxhall Gardens Estate, 1pm, Saturday 28 August.

What is unusual about these photos? There is not a coach to be seen.

Residents who in the past have been plagued by lines of coaches parked bumper to bumper will be delighted that the ban on coach parking, introduced this May, appears to be working.

After a shaky start, when residents and councillors had to chase council officers several times about the enforcement of the ban, it now appears to have had an effect.

We can't afford to be complacent, and councillors will be keeping a close eye on the situation to ensure enforcement of the ban continues and the problem does not return.
