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
Carrill Way Carrill Way Carrill WayBexley 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?


On private land On my drive Lost motorbike 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.
