| “Whatever measures are delivered should primarily decided by them” That is exactly what has happened and that is why it shouldn’t happen again. Traders say that parking is vital for their businesses and then take up the limited spaces with their own private vehicles all day. Some particularly loud voices dictate the narrative and others are silenced. The hospitality businesses have been badly betrayed by a handful of other traders with the main protagonist among them selling his business shortly after. Traders are most certainly not to be trusted with town planning decisions. In fact they are probably the least reliable people involved. And Devonshire Road and Turnham Green Terrace are both excellent case studies that prove the point. |
