Leicester - Belgrave Ward
Description
For months now across the Sahara Close Leicester Estate we have had many parking issues. The entrance to Sahara Close has now become a car dumping ground whereby cars and vans are parked here by the general public. Causing a huge number of road blockages and a huge number of risks. Whereby there is a strong possibility that an accident could occur involving a car and also a general member of the public resulting in severe injury.<br/><br/>Due to how cars and vans are dumped there is no public access to footpaths also there is no access to the entrance of Sahara Close. The reason why cars and vans are dumped here is because there currently are NO ROAD MARKINGS. e.g. No double yellow lines or No DO NOT BLOCK signs. As a resident who lives in Sahara Close Estate it is a matter of urgency that Leicester City Council does NOW take proactive enforcement action whereby double yellow lines are painted across Victoria Road North and across the entrance to Sahara Close. This will ensure the roads and footpaths remain unblocked and are clear for the local residents to access without problems. Enterprise-Rent-a-car who are based on Loughborough Road need to be formally warned about their constant dumping of cars and vans across Victoria Road North and on the entrance to Sahara Close.<br/><br/>By taking such steps, this will act as a deterrent to those who chose to dump their vans and cars across Victoria Road North and the entrance to Sahara Close. Should cars and vans still be parked across Victoria Road North and also the entrance to Sahara Close this will mean parking fines being issued by the Council Civil Enforcement Officers resulting in more revenue being generated for Leicester City Council. Given the above risks I would strongly urge Leicester City Council to take the required steps and complete the required painting of double yellow lines and also installing 'NO PARKING" signs. Rather than ignore this critical matter Leicester City Council has duty of care across all areas of Leicester, to ensure roads and pathways are 1. Safe to use by all and 2. Remain unblocked also for all members of the public to also use.<br/>
