Parking services didn＊t turn up. Jane thought there might have been confusion over who was inviting them.

Mavis described an incident that had happened to her in Trent Road with cars parked near to the junction. PC Troy Smith explained the ruling on junction parking. It should be noted that there are no road markings in the area so it is perfectly legitimate for residents to park in the street. It was suggested that a recommendation be put to Highways for a Traffic Regulation Order. Suggested letters be sent to residents in Trent Road and Severn Avenue.
