The Town Council has installed floral planters in an attempt to deter unwanted parking on the Memorial Garden.
The increasing popularity of the Carrs park as an attraction to people of Wilmslow and far beyond, especially during the Coronavirus lockdowns, has presented a number of problems with that of parking being high up on the list. One of the parking issues that has caused the greatest of concerns has been the use of the Memorial Garden as an unofficial overflow car park.
Town Clerk Matthew Jackson said "This special area opposite St Barthomew's Church yard has now been given a level of protection with the installation of floral planters by the Town Council making access more difficult and providing a greater visual separation from the carrageway."

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
Could this be a possible solution to the huge parking issue we have along the incline of Cliff Road also?
Huge thank you once again.
THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA,
A safer and better option would be to put the planters onto the grass next to the pavement and leave the maximum width for pedestrians.
Can whoever came up with the idea to solve one problem but has now created another please advise that the planters will be moved onto the grass?
