16 October (Part 1) - For how much longer?
I
am not sure how much longer Bexley Council plans to keep Belvedere residents
waiting
for their Controlled Parking Zones and the much needed yellow lines. Meanwhile
someone is trapped most days by inconsiderate commuters. The white Nissan
arrived around 7 a.m. this morning, at least I assume so. I just managed to
squeeze through the gap (Photo 2) at 7:15.
Next door but one could get out of his drive by shuffling over the pavement (Photo 3) but between us the owner stood no chance at all.
Absolutely acceptable according to the incompetents who manage Bexley Council.
It is an offence to park more than 50 centimetres from the kerb
but Bexley
Council does not enforce that rule, so drivers can park 50 centimetres out from a
dropped kerb with impunity. It is blocked just effectively as if the driver
parked five centimetres away but no one at Bexley Council is bright enough to see that for themselves.
And who was it that designed the crazy road layout in the first place?
The four badly scuffed wheels suggest that parking more than 50
centimetres from the kerb is not the norm for this driver. Not just inconsiderate but careless too.
Unfortunately Bexley’s consultation proposals will not entirely kill this scenario although it will deter commuters.
If Bexley ever gets around to implementing the restrictions.
All four wheels buggered.
