ON Thursday, an unnecessary traffic hazard on Hundens Lane, Darlington, was caused by coaches parking on a corner while waiting to collect people from a meeting at Eastbourne Sports Centre.
Their thoughtless action caused vehicles from Brunel Way to have to blindly cross into flowing traffic – a manoeuvre already made difficult by traffic humps.
Quite a few of the residents of this area suffer some form of physical disability, and having to negotiate this hazard while driving was totally unnecessary.
Simply by providing adequate on-site parking or creating a suitable parking area away from this busy road would greatly ease the situation, and give the flat dwellers their little layby back.
