Pavement Parking

Reports of vehicles parking on pavements in Wells and surrounding villages is being made to the Wells neighbourhood Police team on a regular basis.  Parking on pavements causes a number of problems to the local community;

It is a danger to pedestrians who may have to walk out onto the road to get by, especially if they have wheelchairs or pushchairs.

It damages the infrastructure by the weight of the vehicles on the paving slabs and also creating trip hazards.

It causes traffic flow issues by narrowing an already tight road which leads to traffic chaos.

The neighbourhood team are asking motorists to be mindful when parking,
