Shrewsbury Road, Church Stretton – parking restrictions

Title of scheme

Church Stretton – Shrewsbury Road – Parking Restrictions

Description

The introduction of 'No Waiting at Any Time' and 'No Loading at Any Time' restrictions together with the prohibition of stopping markings on Shrewsbury Road, Church Stretton are to improve pedestrian visibility and safety outside of Church Stretton Secondary School and St Lawrence Church of England Primary School. The markings are proposed to replace the existing school keep clear markings that are not enforceable.

School keep clear markings are proposed at the school entrances only. The no waiting/no loading at any time restrictions are proposed to prevent inconsiderate parking that may restrict visibility of pedestrians. A length of buses-only parking is proposed in the existing unrestricted lay-by to facilitate school bus access to the schools.
