LETTER: Here's a plan for grass verges...

In a Herald story headed '˜Residents raise concerns over nine new homes proposed in Lancing', a local resident was quoted as saying that parking has become increasingly problematic, often with verge and footway parking being the only options for residents.

She continued by saying that larger vehicles are forced to drive across verges and road access splays to navigate pinch points created by parked vehicles.

These problems are far from unique to North Lancing; all across our county cars park on grass verges, and heavy goods vehicles, trying to get past parked cars, churn them to pieces and leave them looking an absolute mess.
