Further to the previous post, I contacted John Clewer, Senior Engineer - Highways Development & Traffic for clarification of the ruling.
He states that there will be a report and discussion on October 25th. I have the details of the five objectors to the proposed restrictions and they all cite the fact that they oppose the restrictions on the grounds that they use the layby for parking their cars in order to walk around the coastal paths.
Mr Clewer said it would be valuable for a submission from concerned residents supporting the restrictions to be tendered by the end of this week.
It should be mentioned that at present - and how it has been for many months now - no cars can be parked in this layby at any time owing to the continued parking of the horse truck. Whenever the horse box departs (usually at weekends) two vehicles are at hand to immediately take up position.
Residents have noted that when the horse box returns, two occupants get out of the lorry and move the vehicles to let the horse box take up its original position - to the exclusion of any other road user.
For this reason alone, the objectors' statements have little validity as they are unable to avail themselves of parking in the layby at any time. I will keep you informed of this ongoing saga.
