Highways obstructions.

Issued 03 November 2025

Residents have raised concerns about highway obstructions in the area. Two key locations have been identified: Royal Engineers Road and Sandling Lane.

On Royal Engineers Road, near the roundabout with Springfield Avenue, the stretch of road is a Clearway. This means vehicles must not stop or park at any time. Drivers have been stopping as they exit the main road, before reaching the double yellow lines further along. Officers have left notices on vehicles, but the issue is still happening.

Sandling Lane is a different situation. Vehicles are parking legally because there are no road markings or restrictions, meaning police cannot enforce action. Advice has been given to drivers where possible.

There have been no reports to police about highway obstructions in the last quarter, but officers continue to monitor both locations.
