RESIDENTS in Abbeydale are still complaining about illegal and irresponsible parking.

Many made their feelings known last week at a meeting with Redditch councillors and officers.

Easemore Road and Dolphin Road were mentioned as particular hot spots.

Wheelchair users found drivers who parked on pavements particularly aggravating.

Residents said it was not enough to have just one part-time traffic warden.

Councillor Diane Thomas said the situation would hopefully improve if 'decriminalised' parking was brought in and Redditch Council took over parking enforcement from the police.

Mrs Thomas said parking was a big issue in the town and was keen to see action herself.
