Church Lane at its junction with Front Street, Whitburn

Closed 17 Jul 2024

Opened 17 Jun 2024

Overview

South Tyneside Council have been alerted, by residents, to problems emerging from Church Lane at its junction with Front Street, Whitburn. 

When vehicles are parked within 10m of a narrow junction, such as this, it reduces forward visibility for both motorists and pedestrians which is a road safety concern.

We propose to introduce the following  parking restrictions, No Waiting at Any Time (double yellow lines) and No Loading /Unloading at Any Time to improve forward visibilty.
