Car Parking Issues, By Cllr. Roy Scammell

At the December Council meeting, Cllr Tony Forrester raised the problem of parking in Newport. Like all towns we have a shortage of parking spaces and drivers are parking indiscriminately (in particular in St. Mary’s Street). This causes problems for drivers of large vehicles delivering to shops there. We also have problems in the High Street with people parking on pavements and business people leaving cars parked in a restricted parking area all day. All we ask is that when drivers park that they obey the parking regulations and consider pedestrians by not parking or driving on pavements.
