Proposed parking restrictions in Castle Bromwich
The Highways Authority, Solihull Council, has consulted the Parish Council on proposals to impose parking restrictions. At their meeting on 29th July the Parish Council agreed to submit an objection to the proposals to install double yellow lines at the junction of Kingsleigh Drive and Chester Road, outside St Mary and St Margaret’s church. Their reasons are:
- the church is well used but parking restrictions outside would curtail events and fund-raising, not just for the Church but for the Hall Gardens as well.
- Imposition of waiting restrictions would impact worse than now, in that events held at the Church, the Hotel and the Hall Gardens would result in further traffic disruption over a wider distance.
The proposals put forward by Solihull MBC can be seen here: Proposed Total Prohibition of Waiting at Any Time
Beechcroft Road (both sides) – from a point 15 metres north east of its junction with Chester Road, in a northerly direction, to a point 35 metres north of that junction.
Chester Road (both sides) – from a point 15 metres west of its junction with Kingsleigh Drive, in a westerly direction, to a point 42 metres west of that junction.
Kingsleigh Drive (both sides) – from a point 15 metres north east of its junction with Chester Road, in a north easterly direction, to a point 30 metres north east of that junction.
At the same meeting the parish councillors agreed to support the proposals for parking restrictions in the bus stop area near the junction of Beechcroft Road with Chester Road, as the proposals were put forward on road safety grounds.
