Parking restriction sign leaning over by verge on Hale Lane
Sent to Buckinghamshire Council 1 day, 3 hours, 42 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 7644711.
Sign is leaning over, with concrete base uprooted, immediately behind the verge which people used to use for parking. By the way, please would you also explain why the new restrictions have been put here and further along the lane because there are now double yellow lines for 2/3 of a mile with supporting no-waiting signage. This appears to restrict access to the countryside, especially for people in Wendover who have been restricted by other access to the countryside by HS2 work. Please explain the reasons for the Hale Lane restriction which seems heavy-handed compared to other locations close to popular footpaths and this seems to be in contradiction to freedoms of access and healthy recreation, particularly denying what was an excellent facility to dog-walkers, and its removal puts more strain on other locations despite the number of parking laybys being inadequate considering that the number of cars on roads is increasing so this seems to be a disproportionate action?

This has been passed to the Highway Officer to investigate, they will carry out an inspection within the next 10 working days.
All our roads are subject to safety inspections, and this includes identifying any road signs that are badly damaged or degraded so we may already have a job raised to resolve it, if this is the case we will update you that it is a duplicate job/enquiry.
If we were not aware of this issue, we will update you on what action will be taken, this may include adding the road markings to a package of works for the location to be completed at a later date.
There may also be occasions when the issue reported will not be repaired as it has been classified as a minor defect and does not pose any risk to either the safety or the integrity of the highway, these are called minimum recording levels as specified in our Highways Safety Inspection Policy in these cases no action will be taken.
