North Berwick homes affected by new parking poles

"Homeowners in North Berwick's conservation area say the installation of 10ft-high parking poles has come as an unwelcome shock. The metal posts, installed ahead of the introduction of parking charges, have appeared outside homes on several streets, including Tantallon Terrace and Old Abbey Road. Residents argue that while the parking scheme itself was known, the scale and placement of the signage was not clearly communicated when the poles were given planning permission."

Ten-foot-high metal parking poles have been installed outside homes in North Berwick's conservation area ahead of new parking charges. The posts have been placed on several streets, including Tantallon Terrace and Old Abbey Road. Homeowners describe the installations as an unwelcome shock. Residents had expected a parking scheme but say the scale and placement of the signage were not clearly communicated during the planning permission process. The presence of tall poles directly outside properties has raised concerns about appearance and consultation. The timing of installations before charge introduction has intensified local unease.
