I think the recent  work in the village centre is a big improvement but now for the downside it has pushed parking elsewhere and it is especially noticable in Milbury Lane.
This is a narrow lane which is the only access for over 90 properties resident parking in the lane on the whole is always done in a very sensible way , but now we have cars parking there in a very dangerous way especially at the top which is a blind bend.
This parking increases around school leaving time and I have noticed some are parked there all day presumable they are going to work?
It really is becoming dangerous and an accident waiting to happen,I know we all have to park somewhere but Milbury Lane is not the place.
I am writing this now but as the schools break up this week the problem will get easier but there is still some permanent non resident parking all I am saying is please be sensible, because like last evening I came home and had to wait over 10 minutes to get down the lane because a Tractor could not pass between the cars and the driver had to go looking for the owner to move.

I am not being awkward but some people do not realize how busy Milbury Lane is and for pedestrians it can be a nightmare sometimes.

Hurray! I made this point recently back to the Parish Council in a blog. Now I dont feel so alone in voicing my worries.

Thanks for the support, as it really is becoming a bigger problem especially in Term time as cars park down the lane to wait which seems a crazy idea it is so much safer to park up at Deepway and walk across to the school to collect their children, Now I see some cars are parking there all day, I presume the driver is going to work, it is up to the parish council to sort this out as good access should be there at all times to the emergency services as any delay in getting to a property could be very serious and I speak from experience as having to call an ambulance several times in an emergency.
The one thing I must add is the residents of Milbury Lane are very good and park up in the most sensible way
