POLICE and traffic wardens could be asked to increase patrols on a residential road.
Tonight members of Bradford Council's Bradford West Area Committee will discuss a petition signed by 30 residents from Bonn Road, near Bradford Royal Infirmary.
They are calling for a residents only parking scheme to be introduced on the road to make it easier for residents to park near their roads.
The petition says: "It is becoming extremely difficult to cope with the double parking and residents and car dealers parking their vehicles on Bonn Road. We would like to add BRI is within 500 yards from Bonn Road and we believe hospital users have been using our road for parking which is cause for concern.”
A report by highways officers says: "It would not be usual practice to introduce permit parking on a single street in an area like this as this would merely transfer any problem parking from one street to another."
Instead members will be advised "That the Police and wardens increase passing patrols of the Bonn Road area and that residents be encouraged to contact the Police in respect of obstructive and/or dangerous parking."
The committee meets in City Hall at 6pm.
