A polite reminder
We recently issued a statement about parking problems in the Elms. Upon further investigation Wiltshire Council have confirmed that the road is in fact, part of the public highway. However, it would be considerate to avoid parking in the Elms to allow space for residents and carers. Thank you.
Parking restrictions
With effect from Monday 19th July parking restrictions came into force in the lay-byes on both sides of the road outside the Holt Superstore. Parking is now limited to 30 minutes with no return within 2 hours Monday-Saturday 8am – 6pm. This was done to help ensure parking availability for shop customers.
