Time restrictions on parking along Clevedon seafront have been amended as part of a controversial new road scheme. New parking bays were installed along The Beach amid a £700,000 scheme by North Somerset Council to make the seafront one way and install a new cycle lane.
More than 6,000 people have now signed a petition, calling on the council to reverse the updated road layout. Residents say the scheme has made the seafront more dangerous for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, reports Somerset Live.
Instead of parking looking out to the coast, the new bays now run parallel to the prom with the number of spaces reduced. People used to be able to park along the seafront for three hours, but this has now been changed to four hours.
