Fairfax Avenue white box markings

John Fareham and John Abbott have ascertained the purpose of the new white box markings on Fairfax Avenue.

We received queries from local residents as to the purpose of these markings and made enquiries of the officers as to why they were being installed.  The local residents concerned had asked the workmen about this but had not been satisfied with the answers. What the officers told us – which was broadly in line with our expectations – was that these boxes are meant to show motorists, who are limited as to how long they can park there, where they are supposed to park within the hours they are allowed to park there.  It therefore follows from this that putting these markings down is an integral part of the process of marking all the lines that go with the TRO. We will of course take an interest in how the TRO works out in practice and will be prepared to react to any problems with it that may come to light.
