Open Forum Minutes: Highways issues 1. There is fairly frequent illegal parking over double yellow lines outside Yummies Shop just before the bend. Such illegal parking causes vehicles coming into Woodhouse Lane from Edenfield Road to have to veer to the wrong side of the road but out of view of other vehicles coming in the opposite direction past the cricket field. I have witnessed (and also been involved in) near misses of head to head collisions, albeit at slow speed. Mr Fowler requested the renewal of the fading double yellow lines, and the installation of a bollard on the pavement. 2. Vehicles coming into Woodhouse Lane from the narrow part of the road behind the War Memorial seem often unaware of the need to give way to traffic coming into Woodhouse Lane directly from Edenfield Road. The roadway markings to indicate 'Give Way' have never been renewed after the road surface was relayed several months ago. I have witnessed some 'near misses' at this junction. Action 4: Refer above matters to Highways Service
