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.”
