New Parking Enforcement The county council is starting parking enforcement on 3 December. This is something that hasn’t been regularly enforced by the police in recent years, and motorists need to be aware that this will change. A team of 20 enforcement officers - similar to the number of traffic wardens previously will work across the county, taking a sensible approach to parking issues. They will not have to meet targets for issuing tickets. A new Parking Enforcement Procedures Manual gives motorists information about how they can park safely and with consideration for others, sticking to the parking regulations in place. Top tips include:
Check for any lines on the road, and signs nearby that will explain the restrictions
Don’t park on the grass verge or pavement – these are covered by parking restrictions
too
Don’t stay longer in parking bays than is permitted by the signs
Don’t block access to properties by parking within a dropped kerb
Do not block dropped kerbs provided to ease crossing for pedestrians, cyclists and mobility impaired people
Don’t park more than 50cm from the kerb Queries can be directed to: parkingservices@lincolnshire.gov.uk
The library is open (but unstaffed for all other times MonSat 9am to 7pm, Sun 10am to 7pm)

Christmas Tree Sponsors We would like to thank Mr and Mrs Ford for their generosity in the use of their land and electricity for the Christmas Tree again this year, and Mrs P Norris who donated the beautiful tree. A big thank you also to all of our sponsors, as we still have money coming in we intend to thank everyone personally in the January issue of Foss Focus.
