Waiting restriction proposed to stop car sales at Rodford Way roundabout

South Glos has been consulting about a waiting restriction at the Rodford Way / Westerleigh Road roundabout, where residents have been complaining about vehicles parked for sale - it often looks more like a used car lot.

The proposal is to restrict waiting to 2 hours in any 4 between 8am and 6pm, seven days a week. This should deter car sales but two hours might not be long enough for some people visiting the Common, maybe doing conservation work over there.

Unfortunately people only knew about this if they saw the poster on site (see photo). South Glos didn't put this proposal on their website, and their agents refused to send us a copy. Apparently the consultation is now over, even though there wasn't a closing date on the posters.

However the agents say that there will be another opportunity to comment: "When the final scheme is decided the legal notices for the proposed waiting restrictions will be posted and all interested parties will be invited to comment/object as they wish. This will include posting all of the drawings on the Council’s Consultation website".
