7 June (Part 2) - Killing the Golden Goose…
… with a £15 a day parking charge.
£250,000 (†) Felixstowe Road Car park: Photo 1 around 1 p.m. yesterday, Photo 2, today at 2 p.m.
It is fairly obvious that there are several regular parkers with more money than
sense who are beginning to assume they have an allocated space.
Meanwhile half a mile away those with no sense at all continue to block Coptefield Drive.
Not totally today, most vehicles were able to squeeze through the gap.
It was OK when KE17 NKA was parked end on to the kerb but then the moron in GD15
KCX thought he would do the same when there were two free spaces another 20 metres along.
No brains and no legs
Later on the broken down silver Mercedes disappeared to be quickly replaced by a smaller and legally parked red Citroen
and the road became easily passable for the first working day since 26th May.
Fortunately the idiot driver of MK60 TZB (final Photo) was absent today, maybe the Police gave him an obstruction penalty for forcing people exiting Carrill Way
to do so on the wrong side of the road. I was twice caught in embarrassing situations there when Abbey Road traffic needed to turn off and found me necessarily blocking their way.
£250,000 is the Council’s claim. Like most of what Bexley Council says, it isn’t true.
