“Please put together a formal request for the site to be looked at for possible parking restrictions such as Double Yellow Lines, DYL's.
Send this to Margaret for her to agree with then I can add it to the future wish list of waiting and parking restrictions.
Please note that the more information, plans photos etc., you provide and the type of restriction required makes it easier down the line.
Also note that this is a very long process due to legal proceedings and only happens once a year at the moment, as part of the HATOC process.”
