Fleet Road parking bays re-marked

HAMPSHIRE County Council re-marked parking bays in Fleet Road, Fleet on Sunday (22) following the ruling by the National Parking Adjudication Service that they were previously unenforceable.

Hart’s Head of Environmental Maintenance, Mr John Elson said today (Tue): “Having checked the new markings we are satisfied that with the exceptions of the disabled bays the restrictions are now enforceable.”

From today (Wed 25) warning notices will be issued for vehicles that contravene the restrictions. These will be issued for two weeks after which normal enforcement will resume.

The works do not address problems with sub-standard disabled bay markings. Mr Elson  added: “We will be unable to enforce these until Hampshire County Council has either amended the Traffic Regulation Order or sought an exemption from the Department for Transport.”
