Latest information from Cheshire Constabulary ‘Resident’s Voice’ Survey.

Information taken from Cheshire Constabulary newletter.
“Thank you to all resident’s that completed last months survey. As you already know we use this information to best prioritise our resources and address the issues that are of particular concern to you and your area.

This months top concern was parking. So we will dedicate patrols this month towards tackling obstructive or dangerous parking.

We would also like to make you aware of Op Parksafe – Op Park Safe | Cheshire Constabulary
This is a helpful reporting tool created to speedline complaints so we can provide the best service. please see below on how it works.
What residents will need to do:

• You will need to provide a written statement about the offence, including the date and time it happened. This can be completed electronically.
• You will need to provide us with your name, address, date of birth and contact details.
• You may be required to attend court if the matter is contested.
• Do NOT challenge the driver or get involved in confrontation.
• Do NOT put yourself at risk to obtain a photograph.
  What officers will do:
• The Roads and Crime Unit will triage the report and will deal with the person responsible. This may include issuing fines or educational courses depending on the severity of the offence committed.
  Offences officers will deal with:
• Vehicles parked on or in a crossing area: This includes the area covered by zig-zag lines.
• Parking on white lines: People cannot stop or park on a road marked with double white lines, even when a broken white line is on your side of the road, except to pick up or set down passengers, or to load or unload goods. This includes the pavement or verge.
• Forcing pedestrians to walk in road: This includes parking on the pavement where there is not enough room for pedestrians to get past.
• Parking at/on a junction: Vehicles cannot stop, park opposite or within 10m of a junction.
• School parking offences: People cannot stop or park on the zig-zag lines or keep clear markings.
• Parking on a cycle track
• Parking a goods vehicle on the road: Vehicles with a maximum laden wight of more than 7.5 tonnes (including trailers) cannot park on a verge, pavement or any land situated between carriageways, without police permission. The only exception is when this is essential for loading and unloading, but the vehicle cannot be left unattended.
  What officers can’t deal with:
• Single and double yellow line offences: These are local authority parking enforcement only.
• Pavement parking: This is where there is still room for pedestrians to get past without having to go into the road.

As always I ask if you could please take the survey again this month, as things may have changed. It takes less than 5 minutes to complete and contains no personal data”. – www.cheshire.police.uk/residentsvoicechester
