A greengrocer in Grangetown says he’s losing customers\u00a0because of new double yellow lines in front of\u00a0his shop.<\/p>\n
Cardiff City Council recently added the lines outside Martin Young’s fruit and veg shop\u00a0on Penarth Road. He\u00a0says they have “affected [business]\u00a0quite severely” because “there isn’t anywhere for the customers to stop”.<\/p>\n
Penarth Road is one of the busiest in Grangetown and Mr Young says the council could use “a single yellow line rather than a double, so [customers]\u00a0can stop between the hours of ten in the morning and three in the afternoon.” This would allow people\u00a0to park outside the shop during the day when\u00a0there is less traffic.<\/p>\n
Parking\u00a0has been an issue in Grangetown for a number of years and Mr Young says at busy times “people just can’t stop and get out of their vehicles.”<\/p>\n
Cardiff City Council says road markings like the double yellow lines on Penarth Road\u00a0are important for “ensuring safety on the highway and that traffic flows as efficiently as possible”. The council says it checks\u00a0road markings and that “Where the opportunity arises, existing waiting restrictions will be re\u2010appraised and retained or rescinded.”<\/p>\n
Mr Young’s\u00a0shop is one of the oldest in Grangetown. It has been in his\u00a0family for three generations and next year will be celebrating 100 years of business.<\/p>\n
