Don't get me wrong Lynne, I agree and I will be completing the consultation document but I think it is putting pressure on our MP and the DfT that will potentially have the greatest impact. @ken , that is exactly what southwest trains were allowed to do in 2009! we cannot let yet another train company get away with the same thing.
I have sent my objection email, having read the Cross Country document it's not only the Paignton services that are to be dropped but services to Penzance as well. In effect they are proposing to cut everything west of Exeter. So the land past Exeter is not part of this country according to Cross Country.
completely agree @leatash . it's not just people parking on pavements but it's parking really badly so that emergency services can't get through. we had an ambulance in the middle of the night attempt to reverse 3 times before it could get through a gap. bin lorries struggle too. we did have someone come and stick warning notices on some of the vehicles but nothing was ever followed up. i ...
I wouldn't disagree with you at all Margaret but if we don't complain to CC directly then they have the added excuse of saying they received no objections from the public.
So the problem is that the CEO'S can't deal with obstruction or mounting the kerb offences, only a warranted officer can do so. The PCSO'S have had their traffic powers revoked to save money and the Police are too busy to deal with parking problems. The problems all started when goverment decided to de criminalise parking, get rid of Police Traffic Wardens to save money and introduced the PCSO ...
You could do but usually consultation by companies like CC means 'we have made the decisions, we are not changing our minds, but we will jump through the hoops'. Questions have already been asked in Parliament, let's hope our MP earns her salary and speaks out to protect our services.
I don't know where this is but it is a growing problem in Dawlish. Luscombe Terrace is a nightmare some days with so many large work vans parked halfway or more on the pavement. Anyone with a pushchair or with mobility problems would find it difficult if not impossible to use the pavement. Princes Street is the same, yesterday every car on the right hand side was parked on the pavement, anyone in ...
Even with a blue badge the vehicle should not be on the footpath FOOT being the operative word. So what offences has this driver commited. 1 Obstruction of the footpath 2 Obstruction of a disabled access point. 3 Mounting the kerb. My calculations about £90 pounds worth of fines.

Unless this vehicle is diplaying a blue badge. couldn't see one. I see no reason why they should, block an entire pavement, access point and tactile pavement for the blind/poor sighted. The number of times over the years I have had to walk round vehicles that have all parked in the same exact position. Am I missing something? is this a secret parking space for the privileged?
