In a recent meeting with senior colleagues from Leicestershire Fire & Rescue Service at Eastern Fire Station, we discussed the common issue of inappropriate car parking in the surrounding areas of Highfields, Spinney Hills and Belgrave areas of Leicester.

As you are no doubt aware parking, particularly on or near corners, is increasingly popular and could have the potential to cause a fire engine serious delays in attending an emergency incident promptly. The obvious consequences of this could be catastrophic for people and residents of the affected areas, should an incident such as a house or building fire occur in which people are trapped.

In light of this the Leicestershire Fire & Rescue Service have initiated a joint campaign, educating people in local communities of the potential problems that inconsiderate parking may cause.
