Drivers ‘turn bus lane into car park’ along Stratford Road and locals say ‘it’s a problem’
Drivers are parking in a a stretch of bus lane in Hall Green, causing issues
Bob Betts, from Urban Design Flowers said: “It’s a one or two hour slot and they leave their cars all day. I’ve spoken to them and they are lazy. If they get a £25 ticket, they say it’s only once every three months so it’s worth it.
“It damages our business because the customers can’t park and if we lose a customer spending £30, it’s a big loss to us.”
Another trader who did not wish to be named said: “It’s a huge problem – they just park anywhere.
“I don’t say anything because I get a mouthful of abuse and they say it’s nothing to do with me. We need more traffic wardens here – you don’t see them that often.”
