At a recent residents meeting it was reported that a fire engine on first responder duties was unable to access Watts Lane due to vehicles blocking it's path on Mount Pleasant Avenue.

The Fire service are aware of the problem and are in the process of issuing flyers to householders in our locality to ask for residents to "Think before they Park ".

Fire engines are wide vehicles so please ensure you've left enough space for one to pass your car.
