Extra parking bays

Digging out the extra parking bays

Most residents of Chilwood Close and Algars Drive were delighted to see that construction of the much needed 6 new parking bays finally got under way at the start of the New Year to help to ease their parking problems. The extra bays were funded by Dave and Pat Hockey using money allocated to local councillors following the transfer of council houses to Merlin H.A. South Glos. Streetcare backed the scheme with the additional funds needed and carried out the construction work. Pat and Dave carried out a door to door survey before this project was launched to establish that it was a high priority for the residents. At last week's Safer Stronger Community Group meeting a resident commented that the bin lorries were now able to get down the road without reversing.
