Re: Widening Rhyddings Street

Yep quoting it might not be a good idea! lol.

I understand the conservation area aspect, but we also have to consider that these days the majority have cars and if we cannot park on Rhyddings street just where do we go??

What about those that need their cars at the door and cannot physically walk any distance to park elsewhere? What do they do?

Give me a real alternative within walking distance, that wont have me taking another persons parking place outside their house and I'll consider it. Im not one that insists I must park outside my house, but I need an alternative. If I could park elsewhere I wouldnt have to move my car every time a delivery van or works van cannot get up the street (but at least I'm willing to do it which is more than some do & and I dont leave my car sat outside my house with no one to move it if I go away on holiday!)

Also are the paving slabs that were laid into the grass after the recent renovation in keeping with a conservation area? If that is acceptable why not an extra layer of narrow kerb - after all it retains the grass & trees.

At the end of the day I dont actually expect anything to change, I think the parking will just keep getting talked about with nothing being done by the council - it'd be nice if they actually made a decision, told us about it, and then actually did it, whether its double yellows, "widening" the road or doing nothing.

Think Id better lie down now after all this typing (phew!)
