New parking scheme to start in Brierley Hill
A new parking scheme to be introduced tomorrow in Brierley Hill High Street should reduce traffic delays, the borough's transport boss said today.
Parking and waiting restrictions will come into force, marking the final stage of a congestion-busting multi-million pound scheme.
Four new bays allowing people to park along the street will be introduced on Sunday. Four separate disabled parking areas will also be created near Brierley Hill Police Station.
A full parking ban will be introduced down the opposite length of the street. Loading space for delivery lorries will also be created. If the trial is a success, it will be made permanent. New lines and bays will be created by tomorrow morning.
Councillor Judy Foster, said: "We have worked closely with residents and traders to find a way to resolve the problems caused by parked vehicles on the High Street, while still improving access for shoppers and businesses."
