| It's clear, Andrew, you think it okay for a council to antagonize visitors and residents and you've no clue how this has a negative impact on the sustainability for high street trading. In an email from someone at LBHF (I'd name names because they are public servants and as such, they are public, but I also know people get a bit touchy about it) he states ""all residents and businesses in Zone A were written to in June 2025." This suggests physical mail. But no. None was received by any of us. Not sure why if that detail was omitted in the thread should be of any significance, but you do you, Andrew. Carry on,. It then goes on to say how 85% of those voted requested longer controls. Nothing to back that up. Could have been so people for all we know. Wouldn't be the first time a council has abused the consultation protocol/results/purpose. Plenty of examples out there. Have a look see for yourself. "Having signs showing different times is exactly how you are meant to inform a driver in a CPZ that a different time restriction on a yellow line applies" Precisely the point, Andrew. LBHF did that for years on Beadon. Things changed. The signage did not. It got removed instead. yet oddly, the repeater signs on Glenthorne remained despite the so-called 85% wanting tighter restrictions. Why not tighten up within the entire zone which is what is implied by the entire communication with LBHF. Surely reducing traffic to a single lane on Glenthorne on a Sunday is adding to the problem. This is what the existing time plates allow for. Why, Andrew, are you so opposed to updating a pre-existing timeplate to allow for a clear indication of what to do and what not to do given the circumstances changed? Plenty of people travel from one borough to the next not expecting to be penalized for parking on a single yellow on a Sunday. And if the nearest sign says you may, why would anyone think "hold up, let's look back a half-mile to double check?" "Who knows why that time plate was originally put there years ago? I don't - do you? Please, Andrew. You embarrass yourself with this. It's completely obvious why the time plate was installed. |
