Caroline Moore, the owner of The Flower Shop in Batley, is one of the signatories to Lockwood’s petition.<\/p>\n
Moore said her florist’s was situated next to another “blind corner” and double yellow lines had been painted along that entire section of the street. <\/p>\n
But, despite the presence of “free parking a few yards around the corner”, Moore said cars would be parked illegally “all day, every day”.<\/p>\n
“I have seen crashes directly outside the shop because of the way people have parked,” she said.<\/p>\n
“There are near-misses almost on a daily basis. There is no let-up,” she added.<\/p>\n
Pointing out to the street where a car was parked on double yellow lines in front of the shop, Moore said the vehicle had been there for some hours and this was a common sight.<\/p>\n
She said that vehicles parked in that position made “the whole town come to a standstill” as buses leaving the nearby bus station could not get through.<\/p>\n
Employees at two other businesses along the same street, who did not want to be named, agreed with Moore and said these large traffic jams happened on a daily basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Caroline Moore, the owner of The Flower Shop in Batley, is one of the signatories to Lockwood’s petition.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":958220,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,4884,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-958219","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-leeds","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116570279681517515","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/958219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=958219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/958219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/958220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=958219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=958219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=958219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
