HIGHWAYS chiefs are planning to extend a parking ban on the
A49 near Warrington to ease problems caused for heavy lorries trying to pass
parked vehicles.
The problem spot is on Tarporley Road, at its junction with
Stretton Road, Stretton.
Vehicles parking to visit local business premises and
commuters who park for long periods of the day are being blamed for the
problem.
The resulting obstruction forces heavy lorries to stop and
reduces two-way traffic flow.
Highways chiefs want to extend the existing no waiting area
– which covers 30 metres from the Stretton Road junction – to cover 70 metres.
Anyone who wishes to object or make other representation
should do so to the borough council by February 25.
