Saturday 20th October 2012
Residents of Imber Road, Warminster,
have made it known that some of the
staff of the Waitrose supermarket
are parking along Imber Road
(possibly because they do not wish to pay
to park in the Central Car Park or the
tiny car park at Fairfield Road).
It seems there is no staff parking at the
Waitrose supermarket car park.
The residents of Imber Road say the parking
along their street (which only has a narrow
pavement on its western side) is more
than a nuisance. One resident said:
“Cars park either side of the entrance to my
home and garden, making it difficult for me
to pull out in my car. It’s making it very
dangerous, even more so because
although there are parked cars,
other motorists still speed along here.
My neighbours are in the same predicament too.”
Residents have made the problem known to
Warminster Town Council but a plea
for double yellow lines outside their homes
has not met with support from councillors.
The Town Council seem of the opinion
that parked cars act as a traffic-calming measure,
slowing down road users.

along the eastern side
of Imber Road, Warminster,
