The work has started on the parking laybys in Thoresby Road which had been requested by residents through consultation with the Ward Committee and (HEIP) Housing Environmental Improvement Programme. The proposal for a two bay parking space at right angles to the road has had to be modified due to the presence of utilities, so a verge layby is being built (as had been proposed in the most recent letter to residents) which will provide up to 5 spaces. As this area is frequently parked up with access in and out of the road being difficult this will help the situation as had been requested by residents for some time. This is phase 1 and we will revisit the area for the next Estate Improvement funded plans. There have been requests further along the road as there is often a long line of parked vehicles, or parking on the verge which ploughs it up.
