LAVERSTOCK residents and motorists are being asked for their thoughts on parking restrictions implemented on a busy Laverstock road six months ago.

New yellow lines were put in place on Church Road  in response to dangerous driving and anti-social parking.

Now, Laverstock & Ford Parish Council is letting people give their thoughts on the success of the scheme through an online survey.

This survey has the support of the Wiltshire Highways Team and aims to evaluate the impact of the parking restrictions, particularly the new yellow lines.

Nick Baker, chair of Laverstock & Ford Parish Council, who along with councillor Laura Jones has taken the lead on giving residents the opportunity to provide feedback on the scheme implemented six months ago, said: “Wiltshire Council introduced the new yellow lines in response to concerns from residents and parents about dangerous driving, congestion and anti-social parking.

“They are only one part of a progamme of work in conjunction with the schools, which is also looking at promoting alternative ways to travel and a more creative use of the school sites.

“However, from the beginning, as a parish council we have always emphasised the importance of evaluating the impact of the yellow lines and making changes if necessary.

“We want to hear from as many people as possible – local residents, parents and other road users.

“The collated results will then be discussed at the parish council meeting on March 17 at 7pm at Old Sarum and Longhedge Community Centre.”

A spokesperson added: “We are keen to hear from all residents, parents and other road users on the impact, for better or worse, that these measures are having, and the parish council invites people to take part and express their experience of the new scheme via the online survey.”

The survey closes on March 7 and can be found by clicking here or searching bit.ly/laverstock-lines
