Mortehoe and Woolacombe Traffic Management Plan

Background

Devon County Council, along with County Councillor Andrea Davis and Mortehoe Parish Council, have reviewed the existing parking restrictions within the Mortehoe and Woolacombe area.

Proposals seek to improve parking within the village centre of Woolacombe for residents, to tackle parking related concerns along The Esplanade and improve access to the shops in Mortehoe. This is in response to concerns raised by residents in this area, who are experiencing difficulties with the current on-street parking that is taking place.

The intention of the scheme is to resolve on going parking concerns within the community and to ensure parking remains available for residents and visitors.
