Parking on Humfrey Lane
It was brought to the attention of the Parish Council that there are consistent examples of inconsiderate parking taking place on Humfrey Lane, many of which breach the Highway Code and
are regarded as dangerous for pedestrians and road users.
It is understood that of three examples recorded, two of the cars belonged to employees of Euro Food Brands Ltd. The third car did not belong to an employee or visitor so it is possible it belonged to a parishioner and/or their visitor.
The Parish Council are pleased to say that within days of making contact with Euro Food Brands Ltd they investigated the matter and promptly responded noting:-
- they have spoken directly to the two employees identified about this matter.
- they sent a firm wide email to all employees reminding them to park considerately at all times with examples of what they expect to ensure safe and legal parking in the village.
- the email also reminded employees to leave the spaces free in front of the cottages on Humfrey Lane which have no driveways and to display their Euro Food Brands sticker in their car.
- their reception team are asking all visitors on arrival for their number plate and where they have parked so they can check that it’s somewhere appropriate.
Euro Food Brands Ltd have said they encourage any parishioner who has concerns to contact them and if one of their employees/visitors cars are causing a problem, they will always ask them to move straight away. They hope their recent actions will ensure that this doesn’t happen going forward.
The Parish Council were very pleased with this swift and robust response.
