Parking in cul de sac turning area prevents residents from being able to turn their cars around in the road and turning becomes even more difficult on refuse collection days which results in the need to sometimes slightly mount the pavement outside the houses surrounding the cul de sac in order to turn ones vehicle around one instance of which has unfortunately today led to an altercation in the street where a resident has been angered by the need for another resident to slightly mount the pavement in order to turn their car around.

This has been passed to the Parking Services Team.
Subject to available resources, a civil enforcement officer (traffic warden) will go and assess, and if a vehicle is parked in contravention of a parking restriction, a penalty charge notice may be issued.

For further clarification, Willoughby's Walk is a short length dead end road with two bends which terminates in a cul de sac (vehicle turning area) dead end. The majority of the residents living in the said road are families many of which have 2 or 3 vehicles. Some but not all of the residents have given up their lawns to make driveways or second driveways and although this has taken some pressure off of the limited parking situation of the said road , the road is, on a daily basis, lined with parked cars including two cars parked in the cul de sac turning area. Because of the two cars parked in the turning area, many residents and also delivery drivers have no choice but to attempt to turn their vehicles around (at the road's dead end) using a tiny portion of the said turning area and also (necessarily) part of the adjoining pavement to the cul de sac turning area. If a parking restriction is placed on the cul de sac turning area (to prevent two cars from being parked in this said turning area) then would likely eliminate the need for any driver of any vehicle to have to also use the pavement or part of any driveway bordering the said turning area to make safe and accident free vehicle manoeuvres. A parking restriction would also likely help the residents of the 3 detached houses bordering the cul de sac turning area to access and exit their own driveways more safely - easily. Alternatively, perhaps the largely unused green space in the road could be partially developed to provide extra (perhaps resident permitted use only) parking spaces, with perhaps small (blossom) trees and (flowering) bushes that generally complement car parking spaces planted to offset the loss of the grass. And for further clarification, the aforementioned problem is not a new problem, but a very old problem that has been prevalent for many years although presently it does appear to be getting worse.
