Priority 4: Parking Issues- Oxford Street, Grimsby

This has been raised by East Marsh Involve for the second month.

Oxford Street is a major carriageway which is heavily used by local traffic meaning that parking issues impact on road safety when cars are parking on double yellows. Cars are also parking on the footpaths which can result in people not been able to walk on the footpaths and having to go onto the road.

Patrols have been deployed in the area and tickets have been issued to divers committing parking offences. Road safety advice has been given to motorists and pedestrians.

Also a letter drop has been carried out on Oxford Street and local businesses have been warned and given a poster to display for customers.
