Barrington Avenue and other grass verges

John Fareham and John Abbott have arranged for a review to be undertaken of locations where vehicles have been damaging grass verges, as they have been on Barrington Avenue, and for additional rocks to be situated or planting to be undertaken to address the problem.

We understand and appreciate that not all motorists have first class access to convenient parking spaces.  However, chewing up grass verges is not the most orderly of solutions to the problem, and we are therefore working with the officers to ascertain where efforts to prevent the problem from recurring can do the most good. We suspect we know the answer already, and it may well be that you do too, but it will be necessary to conduct the review first and then plan for the allocation of resources to combat the problem.
