28 May - Parking signs in Abbey Road
The parking restriction notices between Florence and Fossington Roads were stolen on the night of 27th May apart from one which was hanging loosely on a damaged bracket. At a superficial level this may seem like a good idea on someone’s part but it soon dawned on me that the spaces now looked as though anyone could park there and they were officially residents only bays. Bexley’s parking officials have little regard for the law, without signs they shouldn’t ticket anyone, so obviously this was a situation more likely to provoke problems than not, so I emailed Graham Ward, Deputy Director (Customer Relations) and the signs were replaced within a day or two. Funny how they can always get a move on when it suits them.
