A WORCESTER man has slammed the lack of parking availability on a busy residential road in St John's. 

Pawel Sieczka, of Comer Road, St John's, has criticised the lack of parking available for residents on the road and wants permits to be introduced.

Mr Sieczka says the situation is so bad he is forced to park on single yellow lines and wake up early every morning to move his car.

He said: "The parking is awful. We live close to the junction with Bromyard Road and every single space on Comer Road and the adjoining side roads are always totally full of cars.

"The road has lots of homes with multiple occupants, and students during term times, which makes the situation even worse.

"As a resident of the road, I struggle to find spaces every day and am forced to move my car early most mornings due to having to park on single yellow lines.

"My wife comes back late from work and typically has to park well away from our house with our cars out of sight."

Mr Sieczka also believes that a lot of the cars being parked on Comer Road are people looking to access various services and shops in St John's and the city centre.

He said: "It costs less to park here and get the bus into town a lot of the time, which is what people do.

"Due to spaces being so tight, I have also had my car damaged in the past which cost £350 to repair."

Mr Sieczka has said he has tried to reach out to Worcestershire County Council to voice his concerns.

"I have tried to voice my concerns to the county council about the situation, residents need permits."

A spokesperson for Worcestershire County Council said: “We ask for any requests for about residential parking schemes to be sent through to your county councillor or logged via the report it pages of our website.

"When logging a request, we would ask for our residents to give us as much detail as possible regarding their issue, so that the request can be passed on to the appropriate team to action."
