Cllr. Jill Whitehead says: “We are pleased to report that the council have recently installed double yellow lines along the east side of Shorts Road by the high brick wall surrounding St. Philomena’s School. This is in response to various complaints from local residents and the fire brigade about the road being blocked by inconsiderate parking, leading to angry exchanges between some local residents and other difficulties.”

Cllr. Hamish Pollock says: “This double yellow line installation work follows some discussion of the issues at our recent meeting of the Council’s Carshalton & Clockhouse Local Committee. Hopefully there should be far fewer blockages in Shorts Road. I took the photos below after the work… In the event that there is another blockage, please do let one of your councillors know.”
