A NEW disabled parking bay for Downend’s high street area is being proposed by South Gloucestershire Council.

The bay on Downend Road, outside Kustom Floors and Furniture, will be one of two which will be enforced under a new order being introduced by the council.

The other is outside the Mortgage Advice Bureau in Badminton Road, which is currently marked on the road but has no kerbside sign.

The council is also updating orders relating to double yellows on more than 30 roads, including Badminton Road, Buckingham Gardens, Buckingham Place, Carpenters Shop Lane, Chestnut Road, Christchurch Avenue, Christchurch Lane, Church View, Clarence Road, Cleeve Road, Cleeve Hill Road Extension, Coronation Road, Croomes Hill, Dial Lane, Downend Road, Downend Park Road, Edmund Close, Grace Road, Hill House Road, Longden Road, North Street, Overndale Road, Overnhill Court, Overnhill Road, Park Road, Peache Road, Salisbury Gardens, Salisbury Road, Shrubbery Road, Sunridge, West Park Road, Westerleigh Road and Woodlands Rise.

Changes include new double yellows at the junction of Overndale Road and Croomes Hill, and on Woodlands Rise near Overndale Road.

Double yellows on Chestnut Road and on Dial Lane, near Grace Court, are being extended, with some new double yellows on Downend Road, Overnhill Road and Overnhill Court.
