I wonder why they can't park on the road there.

when I had to call the ambulance not long ago, I did have a chat with the paramedics and they said people who park iresponsible like that, put other Peoples Life at Risk. They would of walked around if they not gone through belgrave road like it sometimes happens.
So Drivers who are so selfish should consider this too. Maybe worth to put a poster up and remind Drivers of their responsibilities??

the bus fails to get through clarendon place on a 50/50 basis and there is no interest in dealing with the parking problem.
if a bus cannot get through what chance have fire engines and ambulances got?

Perhaps the fire brigade in their down time could go to the worst affected areas, collate the information on the offending cars and do a comprehensive report to the parking authorities highlighting the dangers had there been an emergency at the time they visited? you never know it might spark some action!

doubt it martin, i have been in contact with kcc many times as they pay towards the bus service and they have always responded quickly even sending down people to photograph trouble spots, travelling on the bus to experience first hand and they have asked ddc to put down double yellows in certain places but they don't even get a response.

Double yellow lines have been put down sometimes because just one person requested them, after going through an evaluation and voted on by DDCs JTB committee. I'd be very surprised if DDC turned down requests without consulting this committee (which I am on).

I wouldn't, Roger. History is littered with DDC officers acting under delegated powers making decisions which have infuriated constituents, embarrassed councillors and made the council a laughing stock in the press.

The last line sounds so true. The policy must be insitigated by the elected members for the officers to enact.

meanwhile the bus fails to get through and some of the elderly cannot get into town and back.

with regard to the subject in hand
no agency(including fire brigade)wants to take the issue on
the last time the fire brigade had an imput they replied by saying one way or another they will always get to there destination

The Problem was not always so present as it is now. It might be worth putting flyers on the car to remind drivers of their responsibility. Thats maybe one way to get their attention.

If what you keep saying is true Keith (and it isn't), what is the point of local elections at District Council level ? There'd be no change in the way the Council is run at all.
When the Conservatives took over DDC in 2003, there was a "black-hole" in the accounts of around £750,000. Labour are the same at Government and local levels, they simply can't manage money.

and the bus still does not get through while party politics plays out.
council taxpayers money being wasted here.

The reason that the bus can't get through is because the last labour government left this country in a financial mess that it will take us years to get out of.
Meanwhile, the bus still can't get through.
Do you think we could use this excuse Howard for not paying Road Tax, mortgage or council tax. That would work a treat in court as you face the magistrates.

members will be pleased to hear that the bus has managed to get through so far today despite the inactions of the powers that be.

In years gone when I lived up at Westbury rd the bus never came off the Folkestone rd you would walk down to the bus stop young and old,sorry but old rds like we have up there and other places were not build for alot of cars and no bus it is the times we live in most have cars most now will not walk to a bus stop, but the rds are the same ones as a 100years ago made for horse and cart. So if you live up there ,get yourself a horse.
+no road tax and you can park him on the hills at night.
