Parking safety

We have had some concerns passed to us from local residents of Epworth regarding parking safety.

We understand that parking in Epworth can be difficult but we would like you to please read the following so we can ensure everyone is parking safely and in accordance with guidelines.

There has been a number of vehicles parking on the path restricting access to members of the public who use wheelchairs or prams for young children. And there has been some vehicles seen parking on the boundary of residents drive ways restricting visibility to the road.

To ensure safety for the public DO NOT PARK-

On a footway or verge- if this is not an option please ensure there is enough space on the footway for a wheelchair or pram to fit past your vehicle

Where the kerb has been lowered

Within 10 metres of a junction

Where it will obstruct other road users

If you have a driveway, please USE IT

Correctly parked vehicles on the highway can ensure public safety to those who are not in a vehicle and can help reduce other vehicles speed.

Humberside Police can prosecute for dangerous or unnecessary obstruction.

Your co-operation is essential, to make your local communities roads safer

Thank you,

Epworth Neighbourhood Policing Team
