"Concern over insufficient child-friendly parking spots"
A local mom of three and Mid and East Antrim Borough councillor is urging for more parent and child parking spots in off-street car parks, citing safety concerns.
After experiencing trouble getting her own kids out of the car in a safe manner, Lauren Gray put forward a motion to the council. She shared her struggle, saying, "I've had to leave my three-year-old on the sidewalk while I reversed to get the doors open. That's a serious safety issue, but I had no other choice."
The council acknowledged the existing 13 family-friendly bays in town car parks, adding they aim to increase the number. However, specifics on the growth plans aren't extensively available.
As for safety measures, local regulations usually focus on ensuring adequate lighting, clear signage, and effortless access to parking spaces to enhance safety. If you're eager to gain more information, reaching out to the Mid and East Antrim Borough Council directly would be the best approach. Additionally, keep an eye on local news and council announcements, as they often share updates on parking infrastructure improvements.
Lauren Gray, the local mom and councilor, is not only pushing for more parent and child parking spots but also advocating for a safer lifestyle, especially when it comes to family-dynamics, such as dropping off children near home-and-garden environments. Encouraging improvements in relationships with the community, she suggests keeping abreast of relationships with the Mid and East Antrim Borough Council for progress in this area, including updates on relationships with off-street car parks and enhancements to home-and-garden safety.
