3 May - A wrong blog and bad parking
Humble Pie
I half expected to be hauled over the coals for
Sunday’s late night comment which was not very kind to the local Labour Group
but I feel they ought to know how they go down with people who are not their
natural supporters; like me. However bad the local Tories are, Labour never quite makes a
breakthrough and probably they wonder why.
Their Leader has politely reminded me that contrary to the content of Sunday’s blog it
was not only Dave Putson who had offered advice on coping with the spiralling
Cost of Living. Three months ago they issued
a Press Release which was
featured on BiB and which included
a link to their helpful booklet.
And I forgot it!
So apologies are due to Labour on the Cost of Living issue.
Commuter Parking
Bexley Council’s current
plans to tackle commuter parking in Abbey Wood are
pleasing no one. The residents within the CPZ are not happy about the new rules which will
drive visitors and trades people away while those just outside the Zone will suffer even more than they do now.
Yesterday it was difficult to leave my road by car because although the gap left by
three idiot motorists was just about
wide enough for a car, it was very difficult to approach it at the required
angle and straighten up before hitting the corner parker, If ever there is a fire during the day we will be in trouble but Bexley Council doesn’t care.
Do they ever?
The driver of the silver car in Photo 2 above was a resident who said he had
not seen the local Councillors’ leaflet but
was fed up with commuters parking on the allocated parking space which he owns.
That habit is getting ever more common. The driver of YW16 VEP
(Photo 4) was very obviously a commuter. He blatantly parked in a householder’s space
and marched off to the station.
FM06 FZJ (Photo 5) is on my drive although probably a genuine mistake and
it wasn’ְt there for long. The motorbike which has been outside my house for 24
hours is totally unexplained. There is a chain around the rear wheel but anyone
could lift the whole thing up and take it away in a van.
