Fill out our Community Survey to have your say on new proposals for double yellow lines in Malborough!
The Parish Council has become increasingly concerned about traffic issues on Higher Town, particularly due to vehicles struggling to pass each other along the road, and their proximity to pedestrians and school children. Also, vehicles have been parking on the junction of Cumber Close which results in reduced visibility to vehicles joining Collaton Road. We have received a number of complaints about both locations.
Parish Councillors are very familiar with the problems and have considered the issues carefully. We recently met on site with Devon Highways and County Cllr Louise Wainwright to discuss what can be done.
We have a number of improvements planned and are asking for your views on the proposals set our further below. This survey only takes a few minutes to complete and we would be very grateful for your input.
Please complete this survey by 24th October 2025 at 12pm.
