Double yellow lines, 26th September

Tue, 26 Sep 2023 15:22:38 +0100
53.534016 -2.446646

BL5 1FQ, between PJH and Amscreen. This road was resurfaced a few months ago and previously had double yellow lines as with the rest of the area. But after the work, they were not repainted. So every day there are many large HGV’s parked on one side, reducing the road down to one lane for around 500 meters. At peak times it becomes blocked and this is very dangerous. Please re-install the double yellows as soon as possible.
