Rectory Lane - Double Yellow Lines

Residents in the Rectory area of Whickham may have noticed that double yellow lines have been painted onto Rectory Lane opposite Chase Park. This followed complaints by residents that they couldn’t drive along Rectory Lane because parked cars on both sides of the road were blocking traffic. The problem was particularly bad in the summer. Local Lib Dem councillors arranged for council engineers to carry out the work and this was completed in February.
