Unfortunately I am going to have to defend Cllr Britcliffe on this one*.
He did not create any hazard's on Rhyddings Street.
All he did was to stop people distroying the grass verges in a conservation area by irresponsible and illegal parking by residents and people visiting the park.
The hazard you refer to is caused by those same irresponsible residents who insist on parking on both sides of a narrow street.

If vandels were destroying trees in the park would we not expect the council/police to do something about it? Of course we would. So what is the difference in protecting the grass verges.
