Consultation on latest round of waiting restrictions
P
lans to introduce doubleyellow lines on numerous short sections of residential roads in the Bakers Ground and Kings Drive area of Stoke Gifford were the subject of a public consultation during August. South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) says the purpose of the proposed scheme is to address “obstructive and inconsiderate” parking on the eleven specified roads (see panel, right). Comments left on the Stoke Gifford Journal’s Facebook page suggest that much of the inconsiderate parking is caused by users of the nearby Bristol Parkway Station who are reluctant to pay to park at the station or in the council-run ‘park & ride’ car park on Hunts Ground Road. The Journal has also heard that bus passengers who catch the M1 MetroBus and T1 services from the stop at Great Stoke Way

may also be contributing to the parking issues. The consultation, which finished on 30th August, is designated as being ‘phase 4A’ of an area-wide waiting restriction review (covering the whole Stoke Gifford district ward) that began back in 2011. The types of restrictions introduced as a result of previous
phases of the review have included ‘no waiting at any time’ (double-yellow lines), ‘no waiting 8am-9am and 3pm-4pm’, ‘no waiting Mon-Fri 10am-4pm, except permit holders’ and ‘limited waiting of 30mins MonFri 1pm-2pm’. Phase 1 (consulted on in 2011) resulted in the full range of measures being
implemented across a wide area stretching from New Road and Sandringham Road in the west to Hunts Ground Road and Trevelyan Walk in the east. Phase 2 (consulted on in 2013) added further roads close to Parkway Station (and revisited some that already had restrictions) plus Gifford Crescent and Lawford Avenue in Little Stoke.
