WE have had constant problems with parking across and adjacent to the entrance to Slaters Yard since Waitrose arrived in town.
We have asked the council many times to help but it seems nothing can be done and the ‘no parking on double yellow lines’ and ‘KEEP CLEAR’ isn’t enforced’ – and don’t the ‘not so good’ people of Knutsford just know it!
One day there will be a serious accident.
Drivers from Slaters Yard have to pull out blind on to Princess Street because someone is parked right up to the entrance on the right.
There is the risk of being reversed into by somebody parked outside the pub on the left-hand side of the entrance that is, if there is not actually a vehicle parked right across the entrance.
It is already a very busy part of Knutsford with inadequate pavements and very little room for manoeuvre if evasive action has to be taken.
In addition, every morning the Waitrose lorry makes access for others difficult and causes traffic hold ups.
Also, the pavement is crowded with groups of young people who have to weave between the traffic chaos when walking to school.
Surely the council and other responsible parties can do better than this in terms of both traffic management and safety?
