Middleton Parish Plan

More than 200 villagers came along to the Our Village, Our Future event on 29 and 30 January to find out more about the Parish Plan for Cottingham and to share their thoughts and aspirations for the future.

Listed below are all the comments from the day. If you would like to respond or add to these comments, please email jane@cottinghamnews.co.uk

Parking

• Cars parked on paths – can’t get pushchairs through (+1)
• Too many cars parked on footpaths
• Pedestrians have to walk in the road
• Parking on road is dangerous, but some is residential. Does it slow other traffic down?
• Car parking from top of hill on Rockingham Road to Villlage shop. Cars parked on pavement prevent people walking on footpaths. Combine this with speed of cars on Rockingham Rd constitutes a danger
• Too many cars parked on pavements from shoe factory down to shop
• Parking on road outside Royal George poses hazard to emergency vehicles
• The front gardens of the cottages on High Street were forcibly sold to the Council to make a bus stop. Now it’s used for parking cars! If it’s for cars to park in it should be given back to the cottages as their front gardens!

      Parking – Spread Eagle/corner of Church Street

• Parking by the Spread Eagle pub is very dangerous
• Pub car park for the Spread Eagle should be used by patrons
• Parking outside Spread Eagle (on the road) very dangerous. They have a car park – it should be used
• Parking at the Spread Eagle is residents not people in the pub
• Can anything possibly be done to stop the inconsiderate parking at entrance to Church Street as sometimes even the dustbin lorry cannot get down the street (+6)
• Pavements are for pedestrians not cars! (Second that – especially around Spread Eagle)
• Please stop parking on corner of Church Street
• Cars parked on road slow traffic down.
• Cars parked on corners of Corby Rd, Church Street and outside Spread Eagle do not cause drivers to slow down – they cause problems seeing in both directions for oncoming traffic

Parking outside village shop

• Layby next to shop please
• Yellow lines outside the Post Office to deter chaotic parking on the junction (and driving on the wrong side of the road)
• No yellow lines outside Post Office – the cars parked slow traffic down
• Parking near shop dangerous at key times – too many parking on all the corners
• Considerate parking around shop/adjoining property. No yellow lines though
• Inconsiderate parking around village shop/PO and Spread Eagle/corner of Church Street
• A few large stones to edge the green on The Cross to prevent large cars + trucks parking on grass edge
