16 December (Part 1) - Thank you Bexley Council
I
have not made a bad parking report to Bexley Council since last August - until today that is.
Came around to thinking it was a waste of time. They won’t take action against
the end on parking which can block the road and makes access to No. 2 near
impossible and sometimes they don’t turn up at all.
I don’t report pavement parkers because the alternative is usually a blocked road about which
Bexley Council is not interested. One might say
sometimes
encourages.
Then this BMW showed up around 10 a.m. this morning. Completely blocked access
to No. 4 and I could only get out by driving left into the spaces belonging to the flats opposite, turn around there and squeeze through the narrow gap.
Reported at around 11 a.m. and a well deserved ticket 20 minutes later.
It is odd that Bexley Council has done nothing to help residents here and
ignored the result of
the July consultation, but just one report of
a
theoretical obstruction in Methuen Road has the painters out in next to no time.
There is something very suspicious about Methuen Road. Residents’ wishes overruled and
not a single Councillor has shown any interest.
Note: The uncollected bin (Photo 2) is not really part of the 0·01% missed that
Richard Diment has been bragging about. It was put out about 20 seconds after
the dustmen called and they didn’t come back for it. Doubt they even saw it.
