Knowle parking bans proposed

PARKING bans and restrictions by a busy intersection and by a doctors’ surgery in Knowle have been proposed by council leaders.

Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council wants to ban parking around the intersection of Longdon Road, Lodge Road and St John’s Close.

And it wants to limit parking to two hours on part of the Warwick Road by The Blythe Practice and ban parking on the other side. Views are sought by February 13.

Bans are also proposed for Crabmill Close and Blackdown Road. For details on how to respond click here and for a map of the plans click here.

The plans are listed as "phase 1" and come after plans - some implemented - to restrict parking around roads in Dorridge.

A council statement said: “Concerns have been raised from local residents and Ward councillors about obstructive and dangerous parking on various roads within Knowle.”

It said a “large development” planned for Knowle – thought to be a Waitrose proposal – is “unlikely” to affect the proposals.

It said: “A review of the requirement for parking restrictions in the area is scheduled to follow the completion of that development.

“The areas included in this current proposal are some way from the centre and are unlikely to be affected by the new development.

“Consequently, it is recommended that the current proposals are taken forward in advance.”
