Another town clamps down on illegal parking

Residents in certain areas of Llanfair Caereinion will start receiving letters this week as the local neighbourhood police team launches a clampdown on illegal parkers.

Welshpool has recently cut back on the number of public areas where parking is allowed, and it seems Llanfair will start enforcing its own restrictions following a spike in complaints.

In a letter addressed to “the attention of residents, particularly along Watergate Street” the police said that: “Following complaints it has been brought to the attention of the Llanfyllin Neighbourhood Policing team that some residents are parking vehicles along this road which is causing obstruction and danger to other road users and pedestrians.”

It goes on to say that vehicles found to be parking illegally could lead to prosecution, and that no vehicles should be parked on pavements or within 10m of a junction.
