| I've seen the article but the determination to put Cllr Biddolph at the centre of the story seems to be masking what is actually going on. There is a danger of Biddolph Derangement Syndrome becoming contagious and certainly two of her colleagues seem to be more victims, laying into her on the issue. They don't actually appear to have read her submission to the Licensing Panel or spoken to her and such dysfunction in the Conservative group may provide some explanation for last night's defection. You obviously haven't looked at her submission either otherwise you would know that, in context to say "Cllr Biddolph wrote to the Licensing Panel saying they should not be allowed to park there" is a very misleading statement. Technically it is true but it leaves out the very important bit about that she said this should be offset by allocated parking for market traders in schools or in the car parking by the Town Hall. Given the existing parking stress on some market days and the problems it is causing for residents, this seems like a good solution and she copied her letter to the council officer responsible for parking. A link to the letter is below, and while no evidence is going to convince the Biddolph Bashers, I think any fair minded person would see a councillor trying to balance the needs of residents, local businesses and the markets. https://democraticservices.hounslow.gov.uk/documents/s200261/Chiswick%20Flower%20Market%20-%20Appendix%20E.pdf The narrative that she is behind the sudden withdrawal of the Bond Street parking privilege relies on the parking officer reading her letter and ignoring everything she said apart from the reference to that and doing it in a way that basically disadvantages everybody. To me, this doesn't fit the facts that we know, there is some key missing information in this story. |
