A village is pleading with County Hall bosses for double yellow lines over concerns about "horrendous" parking.

Every weekend, residents of Fleggburgh are prevented from walking along a stretch of pathway on the A1064 Main Road and Town Road due to "inconsiderate parking" outside the Kings Arms pub.

Adrian Thompson, who represents Fleggburgh ward on Great Yarmouth Borough Council (GYBC), said the issue was "horrendous" over the weekend of January 27 and 28, with cars "double parking on Main Road".

Last June, with the backing of Fleggburgh Parish Council, he asked Norfolk County Council for double yellow lines - but his request, so far, has come to nothing.

"This is an ongoing issue and I have asked for double yellow lines here and 50 metres down Town Road for the safety of our residents," he said. 

On Monday, January 29, work started on a new pedestrian crossing near the Church of St Margaret, which is next door to the Kings Arms.

But Mr Thompson said that safe use of the crossing will be endangered by the parking problem which impairs vision for both motorists and pedestrians.

There have also been near misses with cars and agricultural vehicles having to reverse out onto the main road as cars are parked on Town Road, he said.

Mr Thompson said he is asking the county council, Norfolk Police and the borough council, which enforces parking, all work together to get double yellow lines installed in the village "for everyone's benefit".

A spokesperson for Norfolk County Council said: “We have been in discussion with local councillors about their concerns and the what measures could be considered.

"Any action taken would need to be affordable and proportionate to the issues raised.”

The Kings Arms has struck a deal with the village hall to use their car park so the installation of lines would not be detrimental to their business.
