Is it meant to go direct to petition?

Yes, the planters have had a major, negative impact on traffic on main routes and if this is now also hindering emergency services that is very worrying.

I think you know that is not what I was alluding to.

If they can and really want to they will. At the moment there are other things to consider. There has to be balance.

?

Great. People who are able may well continue and more who are genuinely able to cycle everywhere may well start, however, for now, I am in favour of overturning street closures.

The ambulance is past the red light but still being held up.

82 now

54 already, think those numbers will be up in no time.

Than you!

500 signatures needed.

Here we go

?Are they really being that reckless in comparison? Seems there are so many other failings that you could direct your ire towards. If it came down to a choice of the two, I think I'd rather take my chances chatting in the skate park than picking up some asparagus in M&S or hopping on the 176 with the chin-warmer brigade?. What does chin-warmer brigade mean?

People can use folders though and take them into work.

Why Rockets, they?re all cycling in from Kent now😉

I had suggested sessions of yoga, tai- chi, etc.. in summer? Quite a few people already go to this area to do this anyway so that could be developed for the community on a pay as you go basis? The ?club? house could be used for massage, physio and perhaps yoga in winter? Perhaps I am way off base but it just feels a natural fit and could benefit all ages.

Completely agree. We all need areas of tranquillity, especially in urban areas, why destroy it?

I was not suggesting this was fantasy simply noting that commuter parking, as in people leaving their cars on roads around the station was given as the main driver for CPZ on streets around the station. People would not be parking for long periods for a school drop off or to use the health centre. The main argument was very much about commuters going to work. Time limited CPZ would have dealt with that, as well as school drop offs for that matter.

One moment you say you feel for people suffering parking displacement as you know what it is like, the next it is ?sour grapes?? Please don?t pretend not to be aware of the widespread effects car owners living close to a station and choosing all day CPZ, will have on the rest of us.

Yes, well you might but it was always argued that commuter parking was the central issue, this could have been dealt with by the time limited option. Goodness, we had tales of commuter stalkers in cars harassing householders and all sorts. The health centre and schools were never mentioned. The all day CPZ has facilitated CPZ creep in a way that was never necessary.

Yes, but the commuter parking issue, arguably an inevitable and entirely forseeable side effect of choosing to live close to a train station, could have been mitigated by time limited CPZ, which could have meant those living by the station would have had a solution and other nearby streets would not have been made to suffer displacement to the same degree. However, this reasonable and even-handed option was rejected.

Agree, poor behaviour but one would think oil on the roads might also discourage cars..odd thing to do.
