Parking Issues and Abandoned Vehicles

/in /by

Information from our local Neighbourhood Team

Dear Residents

We are working hard to tackle your parking concerns in Oakmont Drive.

Inconsiderate or illegal parking can put pedestrians and other road users in danger. It can also create an obstruction for emergency vehicles.

We have been issuing warning notices on vehicles that have been parking on the pavement, as well vehicles that are blocking the road causing other vehicles to struggle to fit through.

We will be conducting frequent patrols here, vehicles will start getting fines and could potentially be removed if they are causing an obstruction.

You can find more information and guidance on parking concerns here: https://www.westmercia.police.uk/…/nuisance-parking/

For more information please contact me the team on:

Many thanks for your help and support. It is only by the police and the public working together that we can effectively both prevent and detect crime and keep our communities safe.

RSPG Big Garden Birdwatch

/in /by

Many of you, as already keen birdwatchers will be planning to participate in the RSPB BiG GARDEN BiRDWATCH this weekend, spending just one hour between Fri 24-Sun 26 January counting wild birds visiting your gardens. It is a great way to learn more about our wonderful wildlife. The Parish Council thought it would be interesting to find out how our local bird population are faring in these changing times and are encouraging residents to participate in this ‘Citizen science project. However the RSPB are only able to produce data by County, so as well as submitting your ‘count’ results to the RSPB, we are asking our residents to also send them through to along with your postcode, who will collate the data and publish the TOP TEN garden visitors in our next Parish Newsletter.

Parking in Warndon and Warndon Villages

/in /by

Dear Residents

We are working hard to tackle your parking concerns in and around Warndon and Warndon Villages.

Inconsiderate or illegal parking can put pedestrians and other road users in danger. It can also create an obstruction for emergency vehicles.

While some enforcement activity is carried out jointly with partners, (relevant local authority) employ parking enforcement officers to assist with these issues. But often problems can be resolved through raising awareness of the impact or consequences or other practical measures.

We have been:

• Talking to motorists and advising them of the law

• Liaising with council parking enforcement officers over local concerns

• Issuing Penalty Charge Notices (parking fines) to persistent offenders

• Working with partners to find alternative off-road parking opportunities, particularly near to schools.

You can find more information and guidance on parking concerns here: Parking issues and abandoned vehicles | West Mercia Police

For more information please contact me or PC Graysmark on 07971 395256 or

Many thanks for your help and support. It is only by the police and the public working together that we can effectively both prevent and detect crime and keep our communities safe.
