PLANS to bring in more double yellow lines and to adjust waiting restrictions on Trenowah Road in St Austell have been backed by the town council.

Cornwall Council says it wants to introduce the new parking restrictions to aid traffic movements along the road.

At the same time, the unitary authority is proposing to change some parking restrictions on the road from “no waiting 9am-5pm Monday to Saturday” to “no waiting 9am-5pm Monday to Friday”.

This change is being put forward to allow on-street parking for residents on a Saturday when the road is less busy with traffic.

The existing restrictions help to keep the areas either side of a pedestrian crossing point free from parked cars, improving visibility for people crossing the road.
