Pavement parking in Abberley
’Dear Parishioners,
It is often brought to our notice that there is a problem with pavement parking in Abberley. It is misguided to think that it is helpful to park across the pavement. It may allow cars to pass unimpeded but it makes it IMPOSSIBLE for pedestrians, people with sight problems and pushchairs and prams to pass safely.
Below you will see the rules about parking as written in the Highway Code. They are advisory but extremely sensible. If it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to park on the pavement please make sure that you leave enough room for a pushchair to pass.
HIGHWAY CODE
244 You SHOULD NOT park on a pavement
Parking on a pavement can obstruct and seriously inconvenience pedestrians, people in wheelchairs or with visual impairments and people with prams or pushchairs.
LAW GL(GP)A Sect 15
243 DO NOT park
– near a school entrance
– opposite or within 10 metres (32ft) of a junction
– near the brow of a hill
– where the kerb has been lowered to help wheelchair users and powered mobility vehicles
– in front of an entrance to a property
– on a bend
NB DO NOT instructions are prosecutable whereas SHOULD NOT is advisory

NOTIFICATION FROM SEVERN TRENT.
We’re improving your supply of wonderful water…
The water pipes in the area of Abberley, Worcester have served your community well for many years but recently they’ve been showing their age. To ensure supplies are secure for the future we’re going to replace them with some new ones.
When and where is the work taking place?
The work will start on 1 May 2023, and we aim to have it complete by mid-June 2023. We will be working along Rosedale, Abberley, Worcester with work in the verge and on The Common. For our team to work safely and effectively we have agreed with the local authorities to a road closure along The Common. Access to Frontage’s within the closure and emergency access will be maintained. Please see overleaf for closure location and www.stw.works for diversion map.
Please bear with us
We appreciate that it can be a pain to have this work happening near you – but please be assured that we (along with our contract partner Watertight Management) will do everything we can to minimise any disruption. We’ll do our very best to keep to the above dates, but they may change due to circumstances beyond our control.
Will my water supply be affected?
If we plan to interrupt your water supply, we’ll notify you 48 hours in advance with a card stating the date and the earliest start and latest end time of the interruption. During or after the work, there’s a small chance your water may appear discoloured. This is nothing to worry about and will quickly go back to normal. For further information, please visit our website www.stwater.co.uk/discolouration.
