Police dish out 50 parking fines in four weeks
Worksop Today
MORE than 50 fines have been issued to drivers parking illegally in Worksop town centre over the last four weeks.
Town centre beat managers have cracked down on illegal parking, with tickets being issued in hot spots such as Bridge Street and Ryton Street.
PC Matt McNelis and PC Rachel Moakes, the two town centre beat managers, carried out the clampdown on the situation, which has been causing concern for both the police and the public.
Tickets have also been issued on Bridge Place, Market Place and Newcastle Avenue.
"It is illegal to park on double yellow lines at any time of day and on single yellow lines between 8am and 6pm," said PC Matt McNelis."We will not tolerate people that disregard these parking regulations and fines will be issued."
As part of their town centre campaign, Notts police have issued a reminder for motorists and cyclists who drive and ride around Worksop.
There are three rules in particular that they would like to draw the public's attention to.
"Firstly, on Bridge Place the KEEP CLEAR box means exactly that. It prohibits all vehicles, including those with disabled badges or other parking permits," said a spokesman."Secondly, Bridge Street is a pedestrianised area with exemption only for those with a green special access permit. Loading and unloading and disabled parking is forbidden between 10am and 3.30pm."
"Thirdly, police would like to remind town centre users that there is no cycling permitted on Bridge Street at any time."
This latest push to cut illegal parking has resulted in an average of more than 10 fines per week – and the beat managers intend to continue tackling the problem as long as it persists.
They are also appealing to the public to park in the designated parking bays and car parks, especially as the shopping area is expected to become busier in the run up to Christmas.
"Both the police and Bassetlaw Council are happy to discuss parking issues with members of the public," said PC Matt McNelis."Particularly in the run up to Christmas as the town centre gets busier with shoppers, we would appreciate the co-operation of all motorists."
"Please use car parks and designated disabled parking bays rather than parking on Bridge Street."
"This will make the town centre safer for everybody."
