TRO-15-2017 Hartington Road-Double Yellow Lines on Legal Crossovers
a. People will lose the right to park in front of their drive,
even with a disabled badge, although parking restrictions will be
limited to 2 hours per day, Monday to Friday.
b. There are about 30 house with legal crossover in Hartington
Road, starting from the cemetery entrance up to the top of the
road. The loss of these places will put additional pressure on the
parking in the street, especially at weekends.
c. Introduction of the new restrictions will inevitably mean more
people will build crossovers, which will add to the pressure.
NOTE
1. At the moment the single white lines painted across legal
crossovers work very well and there is no reason to believe that
this will change with the introduction of the controlled parking
zone.
2. In order to maximise its revenue the council could consider
allowing people to park over their crossovers for a fee, by issuing
permits specific to a particular address.

Council response
Response provided by the Chair of the Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee at their meeting on 27 June 2017:
“Thank you for your petition and I do appreciate the
concerns regarding this matter.
However, it is a legal requirement to have parking restrictions
covering every part of the highway within a resident parking scheme
during the controlled hours.
Therefore, it is proposed that double yellow lines will be placed
across all legal dropped kerbs to ensure access to and from the off
street provision is kept clear at all times.
Any resident that now applies for a crossover would need to meet
the requirements of the Council’s policy which is stricter
within a resident parking scheme as it is based on the
consideration of the loss of on-street parking”.
