Subject; Restricted Parking - Gyle
Date: 19th October 2011

I recieved a complaint from David Lloyd Management re the illegal parking at the Gyle which
is happening on the road leading to their sports centre,and is a private road owned by them.
There are double yellow lines on the road,but despite this people are parking half on the road
and half on the grass verge on both side of the road which then reduces it to barely single
lane only,causing traffic chaos basically, This is also churning up the grass verges causing
damage to that area.
There are health and Safety concerns in that an ambulance would not be able to access the centre
or pitches quickly should there be an accident.There is the possibility of someone getting
knocked down crossing the narrow road.
The gyle car park does have parking bays, which arent adequate for the amount of pitches
that can be in play at any time however we cannot guarantee parking at any of our venues.


I would like you to inform your teams that we need to address this problem and some suggestions
could be:

1. car sharing
2. Ingliston park & ride
3. Parking on the main corstorphine road

I have a meeting with Lothian & Borders Police on Wednesday 26th October in order to discuss
this and they have indicated that there will be Parking wardens in attendance at this site in the
hope that this will put an end to the problem.
Your members consideration of this problem would be appreciated.
