ITC calls on vehicle owners to complete necessary procedures for long-term parked vehicles in M-18 Musaffah truck parking area
Abu Dhabi – As part of its ongoing efforts to regulate the use of truck yards and public parking facilities and enhance their operational efficiency across the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the Integrated Transport Centre (ITC), affiliated with the Department of Municipalities and Transport, has called on vehicle owners whose vehicles have been parked for more than six months in Musaffah's designated truck yard (M-18) to visit the on-site parking management office to complete the necessary procedures, including updating vehicle records and settling outstanding fees. The ITC confirmed that vehicles left parked for extended periods without fulfilling the required procedures, such as updating vehicle information and settling outstanding fees, may expose their owners to legal action, including the possibility of public auction in coordination with the relevant authorities and in accordance with the applicable regulations in the Emirate. The ITC urged the concerned vehicle owners to promptly complete the required procedures, noting that unauthorised parking or failure to register vehicle details constitutes a clear violation of public parking regulations. Such practices obstruct the flow of movement within the yards and negatively impact the visual appearance of the urban environment. This measure is part of the ITC's ongoing efforts to regulate parking usage, maintain smooth traffic flow, ensure public safety, and enhance the urban appearance of the Emirate.

Motorhomes curbed at Keyhaven amid seafront 'campsite' concern
Motor homes and camper vans will be banned from staying overnight at a Hampshire beauty spot amid complaints about the "lovely area looking like a campsite".New parking fees will be introduced at Keyhaven, near Lymington, and motorhomes will be unable to stay after 20: County Council has approved an order to introduce pay-and-display parking in New Lane and Saltgrass will be £1 an hour, with a maximum stay for the entire day, and will apply from Monday to Sunday, 10:00 to 18:00. Residents had raised concerns through councillors and parking services about motorhomes and campervans staying overnight on the seafront and nearby. County councillor for Keyhaven and Milford on Sea, Fran Carpenter, said: "I visited a few days ago. There was visible litter in the salt marsh. "Campervans, some bigger than buses, were parked as far as the eye could see. She said she spotted a van selling souvenirs, adding that a car delivering pizzas had blocked the road. She said the parish council had sent one photo showing a sofa next to a van, taking up four parking spaces."I'm afraid this lovely area is often treated, and looks like a campsite," she said. Cabinet member for highways Lulu Bowerman said: "There are no public facilities overnight for parking, and campers use the local land."I think the scheme would bring order to this particularly beautiful part of Hampshire."It is expected the new rules will come into force in August or September.A similar traffic order at Marine Drive, Barton on Sea, is also being considered.

Beloved bathroom brand suddenly collapses after three decades as owner blasts ‘catastrophic' red parking lines
A BATHROOM brand has folded after 34 years in business due to 'catastrophic' parking regulations. Michael Cannadine, who opened Cannadines in 1991, blamed the double red lines outside his shop for the closure. 2 The Brighton store will pull down the shutters for the final time on May 31. Michael told his local paper earlier this year that the new 'Red Route' on three main roads in the beachside city were making running his business "almost impossible". In 2024, London Road, Preston Road and Lewes Road were slapped with double red lines, which restrict vehicles from stopping at any time. "It has been catastrophic. It has created money for the council or whichever organisation is running it, but chaos for the people who live and work here," Michael told The Argus in February. "The traffic is so much worse than it was. They've done a good job at creating more pollution - at least before the traffic was moving," he added. It has been reported that the business's lease was coming to an end, coinciding with Michael's retirement. Former councillor Andy Winter spoke about the closure on Facebook, where he said: "I'm so sorry to see that Cannadines on Preston Road is to close. "It's been there longer than I can remember and another part of 'old Brighton' that will soon be lost." His post gathered comments from disappointed locals, with one writing: "Oh no! Cannadines was great - brilliant range and service that put all the more modern bathroom chain stores to shame." "I am getting fed up with all those closures," another raged. I found the best place for bargains & now I'll go every weekend - I got Zara heels for £2 & FOUR pairs of boots for £10 "Very sad! They were very helpful when we bought our bathroom furniture from there!" echoed a third. Councillor Trevor Muton, Cabinet member for Transport, Parking and Public Realm, said previously: "Red routes are an important part of our efforts to improve safety, traffic flow, and air quality around the city. "Our intention is not to negatively impact local businesses and, in each area where a red route has been trialled, we have consulted at length with traders, residents living nearby, road users, and pedestrians." The Sun has approached Brighton & Hove City Council for comment. 2
