New Ossy Petrol Station! - Page 2

That is because a large number of drivers approaching the roundabout from Stanhill way don't even look up New Lane. Like I say I use New Lane for work 6 days a week and have almost been hit coming down New Lane onto the roundabout several times. Brian's silly roundabout is a good idea, it's the drivers who don't know how to use it that cause the problems.

Will agree with you there, another problem is that some drivers forget they have indicators, so sometimes if you are at the bottom of new lane waiting to turn right, you don't know if a car coming up union road is going to turn up new lane or go straight on, some do turn at the last minute with no indication that they are turning up new lane, leaving you a bit miffed at missing the chance to go.

One of my pet hates is drivers that don't know they have indicators, or what they are for. With some many mini roundabouts it's imperative people use them, and that people should be aware that you do still have to give way to cars from the right.

Perhaps they should start doing public information films on tv again like they diid in the 70's.

'Charlie says............. always give way to the traffic from the right, use your indicators....... and never talk to strangers!'

Looking at most of your posts on accyweb Garinda yes I agree the way you go is special (to you), but secret? No way, I don't think you could keep it secret!

Is this the same gent who parks his 4x4 Shogun on the footpath outside his house on a bend?

Think you could be right there

There is no think about it. What makes these cllr's expert on planning issues anyway. Obviously he has no sense about safe parking or he would not park onthe footpath on a bend. He must not care about his voters who have a pram and a small child's hand to hold while trying to get past his big numb Shogun.

Having sat in on a planning committee meeting, they are far from being experts. The Cllr in question insisted that HBC did not need planning permission for the play area light, but was proved wrong when a copy of the Town & Country Planning Act was produced, ref. "Permitted Development by a Local Authority" He was most

I've only just seen this thread - has anyone got an update?

Neil · 16-09-2005, 18:57

I think planning permission has been given but that was a while ago. Still waiting to see when they open it up back as a petrol station.

We should open a Texaco Petrol Station with Subway/Spar on the Badge Brow Petrol Station site, and a Esso Petrol Station on both Spar and Tesco Express sites.

The last person to run the Badge Brow site as a car dealer was a chap called Craig Burt, trading under the name Burt and Harris. I bought a 1974 Triumph GT6 sports car from him, it was 5 months old with 1300 miles on the clock and great motor. He went bust a year or two later and did a runner. I still have his invoice for the car along with all the twenty odd others I owned over the years.
