I am told that it costs the council a great deal of council tax payers’ money to put all these yellow lines on our roads.

But the ones that they put in Wingfield Road, from outside the primary school down past the Widbrook surgery and Wingfield old people’s home and on down towards John of Gaunt School, might as well not be there.

Last Thursday my wife attended an appointment at 5pm, but the only opening in the parked cars was the narrow entrance to the surgery. On leaving the doctor’s car congestion was no better, and parents were coming into the car park for the doctors and Wingfield old people’s home and getting into cars that they had parked in there.

The council must act before someone or something gets hurt, perhaps deploy a traffic warden or put posts up along the road to stop parking.

I know that the council has quite a great deal of yellow road paint, so can I also e suggest that they use some at the junction of Stallard Street, Bythesea Road and Wicker Hill and paint a box junction around the small roundabout, as some drivers are not judging things too well.

As the traffic lights turn red traffic stops, but some drivers still come round the roundabout and block the route of oncoming traffic from Wicker Hill.

The same thing happens as drivers stop at the traffic lights on Stallard Street: cars still come round from Bythesea Road and across from Wicker Hill, blocking the roundabout, again blocking the route of cars wishing to turn into Bythesea Road.

God help us when the new site is finished at the old Bowyers site. The council will need to figure out a one-way system.
