Resident Parking at Edenvale and Station Park, Crossgar, needs to be addressed says Jim Shannon MP
Following discussion with local residents in the area, Strangford MP Jim Shannon has called on the PSNI and Road Service to work together to ensure the safe parking and flow of traffic in the area through Crossgar.
Jim Shannon said: “For some time now, inconsiderate parking by those nipping in to local shops and eateries at road junctions and around the roundabout at Crossgar has been an issue for local residents.
“I met with some just before Christmas and they highlighted the safety issues due to no sight lines and the prevention of emergency vehicles being able to access local homes.
“It is clear that local residents are extremely frustrated over the unsafe and inconsiderate parking by people whom they cannot contact to move the car should there be an emergency.
“The result of that frustration is a rise in the temperature and it is clear that Road Service and the PSNI must work together to help ensure that people can safely park and enjoy the area whilst residents can get to and from their homes.
“There is a way of doing this and the way must be found.”
