HIGHWAY planners have confirmed no waiting at any time restrictions at Winwick Quay to tackle problems caused by HGVs parking overnight.
Parking throughout the day and overnight within the Winwick Quay estate, particularly by Heavy Goods Vehicles, not only reduces the available carriageway width but also results in litter and anti-social behaviour.
Highway chiefs say the problem may be the result of HGV drivers not wanting to pay overnight parking charges at the nearby Burtonwood Services. The estate has large numbers of HGVs operating throughout the estate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and parked vehicles reduce visibility for all users including pedestrians, cyclists and commuters using or passing through the area.
Now the borough council has confirmed it plans to introduce no waiting at any time restrictions from April 24.
