May I request the following information under freedom of information?
- Are the double yellow lines painted on the road on Old Kenlis Street and Kenlis Street in Banbridge officially sanctioned, and do normal parking restrictions apply?
- Does a local taxi company have a derogation to park on these double yellow lines, and can members of the public avail of such a derogation?
- How much does such a derogation cost and who receives the payment?
- If there is no such derogation then why when blatant and repeated (daily) breaches of parking restrictions are pointed out to parking enforcement officers (wardens) who are in attendance, they walk away without taking action, yet fully enforce the parking time limits for shoppers on adjacent Newry Street?
- Is the Permanent Secretary content that road safety and the law are being flouted on a daily, all day, basis without any consequence for those in clear breach?
