Councillors have again blasted the district council over its failure to make progress on yellow lines on Britton Avenue.

Lib Dem County Councillor for St Peter’s Ward, Chris White, and District Council colleague Michael Green, have both made strong representations to the district council about excessive delays in getting action.

County Councillor Chris White said: ‘It’s two years now that we and local residents pointed out that allowing parking on Britton Avenue on a Sunday was a serious traffic hazard.

‘I had a near miss here only last week.

‘The council really does need to act faster when these problems are pointed out.’

After complaining formally Cllr White and Cllr Green have now received renewed assurances that the problem is being taken seriously.
