Illegal parking due to faded yellow lines

We asked for these lines to be installed a couple of years ago because parked cars made it dangerous to pull out onto the road. However they have faded over time and now cars frequently park there again, meaning visibility when I and my neighbours try to pull out onto the road can be near zero.

  • Thank you for reporting this. One of our highways officers will inspect the defect. If it meets our repair criteria, we'll get our contractor to repair it.

  • Hello. Thanks for the note. Do you have an ETA for when this will be assessed? We frequently have cars now parked on what should be yellow lines, meaning sightlines for pulling out onto the road are really poor and I've seen a couple of near misses just in the past month. Many thanks.
