SHORT stay parking could be introduced on Darwen's pedestrianised Bridge Street.

Council bosses unveiled plans to provide disabled bays on the street last month.

But now a 101-signature petition has been handed to council bosses asking for "limited waiting" bays to be

included in the plan.

Traders on the street have complained that customers are put off from shopping because of the problems parking in the town and that as a result they are missing out on passing trade.

The council has promised to investigate.
