SEASIDERS are calling for stricter measures to prevent day-trippers from parking in places which may result in emergency vehicles being unable to gain access. The Frinton Residents’ Association is growing increasingly concerned about the influx of visitors descending on the popular and picturesque coastal town. The society’s members are particularly worried about Frinton’s parking capacity and its ability to safely accommodate high volumes of vehicle owners. Neil Churcher, chairman of the Frinton Residents’ Association says last weekend the town was inundated with visitors due to the scorching weather, which resulted in many car-owners parking on grass verges and obstructing private driveways.

PARKING restrictions are set to be put in place on Frinton seafront to prevent “unruly” motorists from creating another summer of traffic chaos. Thousands of day-trippers flocked to the genteel resort in hot weather last June as the first Covid-19 lockdown restrictions were eased. Visitors were labelled as “selfish” after parking over driveways, on the corners of roads and even in an ambulance bay in The Esplanade, next to Frinton Golf Club. Frinton and Walton town councillors and Frinton Residents’ Association called for restrictions to be brought in before an influx of people this summer. The town is again expecting large number of visitors after Government advisors warned foreign holidays look unlikely this summer due to continued Coronavirus restrictions.
