Parking Update
09 Jul 2021
Good Morning,
Following the closure of the school carpark, all your feedback and concerns regarding parking in the village were sent to Highways for their consideration. Highways have recently visited Grewelthorpe to observe parking at drop off and pick up times and I have received the following response from them;
I was pleased to see the majority of parents utilising the road space along Grewelthorpe main street however I did notice the small number of people obstructing the footpath and parking near the entrance to the school.
In terms of parking, I did not see a problem for finding space to park both in the morning and afternoon however the concerns raised below point to a reoccurring issue of inconsiderate parking and driving on the narrow section outside the school entrance. This will be my area of focus. Therefore, I will be looking to re-install the yellow school keep clear markings along this section outside the school entrance. I believe this will reduce the number of vehicles in this area and help to create a safer crossing point.
We will be resurfacing the highway between Kirkby Malzeard and Grewelthorpe including Grewelthorpe main street within the next few months therefore the lining will be undertaken during this scheme.
