Yesterday, there was a medical emergancy involving one of the residents of the bungalows in King street, Paramedics were called ou twice and could not get their vehicle into the parking space outside the bungalows due to the space being taken by vehicles belonging to non residents of the block.
Given that the bungalows are allocated to elderly and disabled people surely some steps should be taken to ensure that the parking space is reserved for residents and that a space should be made available for use by the emergency services.

If parked vehicles cause an obstruction for an emergency vehicle the police can have them removed, but the problem is how long that would take when time is vital. As for residents' parking bays, how would you propose enforcing them? The council can paint all the lines it likes on the road but with no-one to police them they would be meaningless. MDDC say they will send an enforcement officer every few days to Silverton but I wouldn't hold your breath.
