Purpose

Investigations have shown that inconsiderate and dangerous parking is occurring at the junction of Radcliffe Road and New Cross Road, causing visibility and safety concerns for all road users.
Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue Service considers that vehicles displaced by the original proposal will park further along New Cross Road increasing congestion directly outside the station. As an on call station, crews already experience delays reaching the site due to inconsiderate parking and any additional
obstruction would further hinder access. This directly affects emergency response times, where every second is critical. Extending the waiting restrictions would help maintain a clear approach, improve safety, and support the station’s ability to respond promptly and effectively.
