• Parking Restrictions Agreed

    The parking restriction scheme has finally been signed off by Norfolk County Council. We are now waiting

    for the right Highways team to be in the area, for them to put in the signage and the lines on the roads.

    The Street – double yellow lines at junction with South Walsham Road, single yellow lines on the west side of The Street, in front of Crossway Terrace (no parking 10 – 11am Monday – Friday to prevent all-day commuter parking), unrestricted parking on east side, as requested by residents.

    Old Road – parking bay by Optician’s shortened to make it safer, double yellow lines on north side by Wilkersons and Old Foundry Court.

    New Road – double yellow lines on bend by dentist’s to stop all parking, double yellows at junctions with New Close, Springfield and entrance to BP garage to protect the visibility at the junctions.

    Mill Lane – double yellow lines at narrow entrance, and at junction with St Edmunds Road, single yellow lines for first part of Mill Road (no parking 10 – 11am Monday – Friday to prevent all-day commuter parking).

    Birtles Way and Priory Close – double yellow lines at junctions, otherwise no parking restrictions, as requested by residents. 2-hour parking bays outside post office.

    Reedham Road/ The Street – double yellow lines at Church Corner and along Reedham Road as far as the bridge. One white H-bar outside the Old Inspector’s House.

    The other existing parking restrictions in the village centre remain – 2 hour parking around The Green Monday – Friday.

    We are waiting for Norfolk County Council to carry out the last, formal, consultation on the proposals for parking restrictions in the village.

    Old Road opposite Carters and Wilkersons – parking bays for up to 2 hours parking

    Bottom of Mill Lane – restrictions on both sides to allow parking for 23 hours per day, but not between 10 and 11 am Monday to Friday

    New Road – extra double yellow lines to prevent parking at the village centre end, and double yellow lines at junctions and at the entrance to the BP Garage/Travelodge/Starbucks

  • Latest drawings for parking restrictions in the village centre

    The parish council has been working with Norfolk County Council to design parking restrictions in the village centre roads so as to restrict all-day parking by commuters, and to improve highways safety in the village.

    These restrictions will also mean that parking for short-term visitors and customers will be easier and so will support local businesses.

    NCC is about to consult local residents about the revised design.

    There are some areas proposed for double yellow lines where this will improve highways safety. (Reedham Road, village centre end of New Road and at junctions).

    Some parking bays will be created, where parking is only possible for up to 2 hours, Mondays – Fridays, 9am to 4pm. This means that someone could park there from 2.00pm one day, and overnight until 11.00am the following day, but not all day. (Around The Green, village centre end of Old Road, The Street – centre – and opposite Crossway Terrace).

    There will also be some areas with single yellow lines, where no parking will be possible between 10am and 11am, Mondays to Fridays. This will enable people to visit family and friends but, again, will prevent all-day parking. Local residents will be able to park for 23 hours per day but will have to move their car for the hour between 10.00 and 11.00. This type of parking restriction is easier to monitor for the parking enforcement officer, and less of an inconvenience for residents. (Birtles Way, Mill Lane, Priory Close).
