Taking Action to Deal with the Problem of Verge Parking
Unlawful parking on verges can be a real blight in local neighbourhoods. Sometimes the problem is caused by lazy, inconsiderate parking, while in other cases there are genuine issues over a lack of space for local residents to park their vehicles. However, there is no escaping the fact that it can be a real problem. In many neighbourhoods, churned up verges are a real eyesore, while verge parking can be hazardous to road users and pedestrians and can block access to emergency vehicles. In the past, Bedford Borough Council effectively turned a blind eye to the problem. There was next-to-no enforcement of verge parking laws due to the difficulty in carrying it out. While it is undoubtedly a difficult issue, I am not prepared to accept inaction on this, and that is why the Council is now tackling the problem.
