Gotts Road Parking / Resurfacing
Hi all,
You will have been aware that Gotts road has been in a right state for quite a while now in terms of it being unfinished, massive pot holes in the road, unfinished pavements, not to mention the inconsiderate, dangerous and illegal parking that lots of you have emailed about, that the traffic wardens have been largely powerless to do anything about
However, we have recently had confirmation from the council that resurfacing of the road will commence on the Monday 8th of June, and will take 3 days to complete. This has various implications and impacts for the residents of City Island.
1. There will be a FULL ROAD CLOSURE for the three days that the work takes place, through the hours of 09:30 to 15:30. If possible the contractors will retain some vehicular access through Gotts Road, but you should assume that you will not be able to access Gotts Road in a vehicle between 09:30 and 15:30 on the 8th, 9th, and 10th of June. The council have left public notices on lampposts, and will also be leafleting parked cars in the week leading up to the 8th to try and advise anyone who uses the road for parking to make alternative arrangements.
2. The leaflets will also warn that if any cars are left parked on Gotts Road during the indicated times, that would prevent the contractor form doing the required work, the cars will be towed away and incur a £150 recovery fee.
3. After the resurfacing work is completed the road will be marked immediately, with the new parking restrictions which will be come into effect. See attached documents for details.
i. The first document basically states that Gotts Road is and will remain a one way road, enforced by the police.
ii. The second document basically states that no parking will be allowed anywhere at any time, apart from where everyone currently parks where parking will be restricted to 1 hour. These parking restrictions will be enforced by Leeds City Councils Parking Wardens who will issue fixed penalty fines to cars that are in violation of the new rules.
Please take note and don’t unnecessarily fall foul of these restrictions. Hopefully, this work will result in a better, safer Gotts Road.
Cheers,
Colin
