A SCHEME to stop nuisance parking outside a supermarket has begun this week.
New traffic regulations, costing £7,000, aim to stop inconsiderate parking outside Sainsbury’s on Moor Hill Road, Salendine Nook.
The changes include double yellow lines on Moor Hill Road and sections of adjacent Laund Road.
A small short stay parking area will be installed on Laund Road while permit only parking will be introduced outside Mortons Residential Housing Complex and in front of the homes on Laund Road.
Residents living near the supermarket complained that customers were parking on pavements, causing a hazard and obstructing parking outside their homes.
Emergency vehicles were experiencing difficulty accessing the nearby Mortons Residential Housing Complex.
Clr Cahal Burke, who secured the funds from Huddersfield Area Committee, said: “I’m pleased that we have finally got the changes to the highways that were needed to improve safety and tackle the issue of inconsiderate parking which was affecting residents nearby.
“I would have preferred it to have happened sooner but obtaining and implementing traffic regulation orders is a lengthy progress.
“I hope residents will be happy with the changes and that the issues they raised have now been resolved”.
