read moreCity Council Executive Board Meeting re Loss of Space
This meeting was to decide whether the council should proceed with its plan to dispose of some public open spaces, adjacent to the Garden Festival site. This disposal was first proposed in April 2007. Many people objected. Mostly because of the disposal of the so called "finger blocks". Land that projects out near the promenade walkway. ( This additional land disposal will not go ahead anyway if the Public Inquiry decides against Langtree MCLean. ) When the disposal was first proposed there was an error in the maps used, meaning that more land is needed than was shown then. The …

Question by resident re St Michaels Station Question As I came out of St. Michael’s station this evening there were 49 vehicles parked on the three streets in the immediate vicinity (Southwood, Melly and at the top end of ST. Michael’s Roads). One white van was parked on the opposite side from the row of cars thus obstructing access. i. What, if anything, is being done to discourage congestion in these narrow residential streets and to protect pedestrians at busy times near the station? ii. There seems to be ample space for caged bike storage (which seems to work at Steble Street …

Question submitted by David Jones Parking in Beech Avenue Almost permanently parked adjacent to my drive is a vehicle about the size of a furniture van that, to my mind, is wholly inappropriate to be parked in a residential area. The vehicle is, I understand, registered as a ‘private’ vehicle rather than a ‘commercial’ vehicle and, as such is subject to regulations covering private vehicles. The police at Admiral Street are aware of this situation and have on one occasion issued a ticket for it being parked on the pavement and obstructing pedestrian traffic. I contend that the …
