Dropped kerb close according to deeds is suppose to be a designated clearway
Reported via desktop in the Obstruction (Not Vegetation) category anonymously at 08:31, Wed 10 August 2022
Sent to Northamptonshire Highways less than a minute later. ref: 3743233.
Despite the close being predominately drop kerbing, cars are still being parked across/next to the drop kerbs. I recently converted my front garden to a 'SUDS' compliant driveway to increase my parking capacity so as to avoid visitors parking in the road to the dropped kerb. I have no problem with works vehicles for neighbours having work done as that can't be helped. Due to vehicles parking on the road, across dropped kerbs, it makes turning in the close very tight.

Thank you for contacting Street Doctor. For this type of issue, residents have an option of applying for a white advisory line which acts as a deterrent from motorists causing an obstruction information available on the Council’s website at https://www.westnorthants.gov.uk/ parking-roads-and-transport/ obstruction-driveways-apply-white-access-line However this lining is not enforceable and does require neighbourhood co-operation to be successful. In the short term, for your information where there are no restrictions in place Northamptonshire Police can enforce if there is an obstruction on the highway where it is deemed not possible for a driver to safely manoeuvre, pedestrians to pass unhindered along the footway or that access to a public or private property is impeded. Any concerns can be reported via the local Safer Communities Team by calling the non-emergency telephone number 101. We trust this information is of use to you, thank you.
State changed to: No further action
