Just a couple of weeks after urging motorists in some parts of Stone to park more considerably, firefighters say they’re still struggling to get vehicles through and have appealed to drivers again. In the case pictured above from late last week, they couldn’t even get a fire service van along the full stretch of Victoria Street, never mind a fire engine.
On 11th September Stone firefighters said they hadn’t been able to get down 14 streets in Stone recently and appealed to motorists to think before they park. Click here for more information about their original appeal.
Station manager Neil Pederson said: “All we ask is that you consider where you’re parking your vehicle – have a check around before you leave it: can a fire engine get past easily? Don’t park on street corners and try to avoid parking parallel to another car on the opposite side of the road. I’m sure if people took a second to think about it they wouldn’t want to be the reason for delaying a fire engine in an emergency.”

Surely not everyone in that street needs a car.
