Purpose

· Lincolnshire County Council recently received a request to explore the possibility of waiting restrictions at the Station Road/High Street/High Gate junction.
· Investigations have shown that parking is occurring too close to the junction, causing visibility and safety concerns for all road users. Large vehicles are also experiencing difficulty navigating the junction safely due to parked vehicles.
· Therefore, it is proposed to prohibit waiting as set out on the plans to the Order.
· The Chief Constable, Helpringham Parish Council and North Kesteven District Council have been consulted, along with other local groups/companies.
