| Bob By the look of all the parking spaces on Grafton, I doubt if we will have the problems once we go live. I think the problems you will encounter are those of STAND OFF'S, which we experienced on a regular basis, with horn tooting and road rage. We were getting it late at night and even at 2 A.M. I would like to know what the serious issues are with the core zone as this is very vague. I do not understand that council officers had warned the councillors that it was unsafe to proceed with the outer zone. From the feedback I got of the forum meeting, the councillors were all over the place, with their knickers in a right twist. How can Bassam say that there will be another consultation in two or three months, when it is another meeting we want! Once we go live on 1/8 I will E-mail the pics to put on the site (some of us old codgers are not into facebook/twitter etc.) I understand that there is an objection from a mini cab driver on Julian Ave, as he would have to pay business rates, but this equates to less than one cab fare a week. This would apply to all mini cabs if they have to pay business rates. Its a poor objection. I think other objections are from transients and non car owners. Since the lines were put in on Grafton on 1/7 there has been plenty of parking spaces through-out the day, so this looks like the commuters are elsewhere. There is one gripe however, and that is we would like restrictions up to 10 P.M. so as to stop night workers parking. |
