Some additional colour is now visible in the Central Car Park area of Warminster ~ double yellow lines have now been painted on both sides of the stretch of road between the Avenue Surgery and Warminster Library. This has been done following complaints from the public about cars parking here, causing inconvenience to surgery patients, in taxis or cars, trying to get in and out of the Avenue Surgery car park. Bottle-necking problems had also been created by the parked cars on the sides of the road, especially for lorries delivering to the stores at Three Horse Shoes Walk, such as Iceland and Superdrug.
But the addition of the yellow lines was still making for divided opinions today. One lady, surveying the new road markings, said: “I’m glad about this. It’s about time this was done. The other day an Iceland lorry couldn’t get through and caused a tailback of cars behind out into Station Road. No cars could get in and out of the Central Car Park.” But a man stood alongside the woman, said: “That was very handy for parking for those of us who don’t want to pay the car park charges. I shall be measuring the lines and carefully looking at any signage to see if what they have done is legal and binding.”

At the Annual General Meeting of Warminster
Civic Trust held on Friday 24th May 2013,
some members raised the matter of how some
motorists parking on the north side of the
road in the Central Car Park, during week days,
are causing congestion and creating problems
for cars getting in and out of the Avenue Surgery Car Park.
These photographs, taken by Danny Howell
on the morning of Thursday 13th June 2013,
show a typical scene of how cars park
from near the Avenue SurgeryÂ
to the entrance of the Three Horseshoes Car Park.
Here, a taxi can be seen temporarily parked
across the entrance to the Avenue Surgery car park.
No doubt the taxi driver was dropping off or collecting
a sick person with an appointment at the surgery.
It seems that some motorists prefer to park
in the road rather than pay the car parking charges.
Warminster Civic Trust have noted the comments
about how cars parked either side of the junctions
at the entrances to the Avenue Surgery Car Park
and the Long Stay section of the Central Car Park
are causing visibility problems for other drivers
when they try to exit those particular car parks.

Some of the readers of dannyhowell.net
are mentioning a problem caused by cars
being parked on the road, on most weekdays,
outside the Avenue Surgery
in the Central Car Park, Warminster.
They say these cars are obstructing the vision
of motorists when they pull out of the
Avenue Surgery Car Park.
They reckon there could be a nasty collision here.
Particularly, as some drivers have to back
their vehicles out of the Surgery car park
at busy times.
And they say it is also a danger to
those on foot crossing the road
between the Surgery and the Central Car Park.
One person, worried about the situation,
said: “I thought it was an offence to park
within so many yards of a junction. So, why
don’t the police do something about it?
After all, the Police Station is very close;
have the police not noticed what is happening?”
