He certainly is Paul.
If we're not careful - or rather if those parking cars inconsiderately, are not careful, the bus-service will be taken away.
Maybe leafleting every household along the route round that area, might make people more aware.

Clarendon Place was leafleted a while back by DDC Roger and most have taken heed but some refuse as always.
The bus service is desperately important to the elderly who live in the Westburys, Clarendon Place and Mount Road in Maxton, without it they would be housebound.

Think it is time you became the Ilford comes to Dover representative Howard.

No chance of me returning Paul, Mike Gapes stripped me of my citizenship upon leaving.
Gave it to a Pakistani chap I believe, votes are very important.

I think I'm saying you are now part of the furniture Howard. You have put Belgrave into local consciousness with your Neighbourhood Watch &local traffic reports.

Very kind of you Paul, difficult not get involved in such a great town. Leaving aside the scenery, history and our beautiful seafront, the people of Dover are the most friendly, down to earth lot I have met.
Many cruise visitors will confirm that too.

It is all about inconsiderate parking - for Mums with buggies and people on buses.
It's been discussed lots of times and there is no clear answer, certainly not one that will please everyone.

This particular group of roads was discussed at the old Priory forum over 10 years ago and no doubt the problem has doubled in that There was a demand for parking wardens to patrol there, i don't think it came to anything.

There is no way out of it without upsetting the public that live there if you need a car you do not what to have to park it to far away from where you live.
The roads are very old and not build to take a bus up etc when I lived up there for over 40years in Westbury rd there was no bus that came off the Folkestone rd is there a real need to have a bus going p there now? if there is then it can come up bellgrave hill turn round at the top then all you need do is walk down any street you wish to.

On London Road opposite St Radigunds Road, there's a Polish registered car abandoned facing the wrong way.
Its been there a couple of months I would say.
How long does it take to remove a car like that?

There's also an Italian registered car that frequently parks all day in London Road by what used to be Pharos. CEO's ignore it.

Has it been reported Karlos?
It really is time for on the spot fines to be handed out to all foreign registered vehicles.

Took this just now, all parked reasonably except the most important one at the junction.
