24 September (Part 2) - Another inconsiderate commuter. PF14 HXZ
One
might have hoped that there would have been an answer to the Abbey Wood Parking Consultation
which ended
more than seven weeks ago, by now but so far nothing.
Informal conversations with neighbours suggest that the vote has gone heavily in
favour of a Controlled Parking Zone and double yellow lines everywhere except in designated parking bays.
Meanwhile residents are regularly blocked in or out of their drives by selfish
goons like the driver of Micra PF14 HXZ.
I can just about get my car out of the gap he has left for me (there is an
enormous long Mercedes parked just behind the camera position) but next door,
which is currently undergoing renovation with a succession of tradesmen’s vans stands no chance.
The road should never have been planned with such a stupid layout of drives
although to be fair the original plans show it to be a No Parking area.
Bexley Council has had 37 years to fix it and been asked several times but insists
that blocking the road here is entirely legal, and in terms of dropped kerb
restrictions it is.
