It was a lovely summer evening yesterday, families playing on the Stray, lots of cars parked on Oatlands Drive. You really can't blame them - it's not clear that you can't park there, and if other people are it seems completely reasonable to join in. And it's convenient.
So what's the solution? Having a rule that's not enforced is crazy, and risky. How about changing the rules to let people park there? But that messes up the verges and blocks the cycle lane.
Ideas please.
As far as I am aware there is an agreement in place to allow the runners to park on St Aidan's School car park. I am sure with Council assistance that could be extended to the footballers.
ReplyDeleteThe Council could if it so wished then place wooden posts in every so many metres along the Oatlands Drive Stray verges as they have on the Devonshire Place/Claro Road Stray to dissuade vehicles from parking on the grass verges and damaging them.
