I think the white van might have parked a few centimetres closer to the junction?

At whose expense, ours of course, the tax payers. A waste of money if you ask me. Because all this is going to achieve – and you don’t need to be blessed with the gift of foresight - is move the problem further down the road. And it won’t be long before Saxifrage bank and Sweetbriar road fall under the same category – “DANGEROUS JUNCTIONS”. Unless the plan is to extend the white lines along the whole length of Snowberry lane of course.
If the local councillor is following this, could he be kind enough to comment?

Does the police or the council have any right to impose any restrictions on this road be it speed or parking?
unadopted in my book means private?
