Powys County Council is to embark on a consultation on proposals to extend yellow lines in a bid to stop selfish parking in a county village – when they’ve already been painted. On Tuesday 2 July under delegated powers, Powys County Council’s Cabinet member for highways, Liberal Democrat Cllr Jackie Charlton agreed to extend parking restrictions at Penybryn in Crossgates.
Five days will be allowed to pass just in case the decision is “called-in” by councillors for scrutiny, before it comes into force on Wednesday 10 July, says Herald Wales.
The first stage of the process would be to hold a month long consultation on the proposal and if no objections are received the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) will be implemented.
After an article by the Local Democracy Reporting Service was published by media covering Powys earlier this week, which reported the yellow lines decision was imminent, bemused residents have been in touch to say that the yellow lines have already been painted.
A Powys County Council spokesman said: “The council is to carry out consultation on proposals to introduce further parking restrictions to prevent inconsiderate parking and obstruction to the free flow of traffic at Penybryn, Crossgates.
