Purpose

The Council receives concerns from local
residents about emergency vehicle access. In addition, access and
road width issues can be identified in relation to other ongoing
works in an area. It is customary for these concerns to be shared
with the London Fire Brigade (LFB) for their review and for waiting
restrictions to be promoted to discourage obstructive parking at
all times where required.
