Thought it quite strange to have in the middle of a street of terraced houses a big Ford dealership.

The dealership must be expanding because it is now impossible to park anyway near Chapeltown Park during the day as station road and the park car park are full of Carters collection of cars.

The road is also often held up by loading/unloading breakdown trucks.

It is handy and I am sure good for Chapeltown to have Carters, but on station road? Surely there could be a better place, and should they use the car park for the park/playground as there own??? I have almost been knocked over walking the dog by staff driving fast out of there without looking and I know residents that have had to park at Asda because they can't get near home too.

What are people's thoughts???

Yep i know exactly what your saying ive drove up station road many times and the roads been blocked.The road is just not wide enough for the constant flow of traffic to be at a stand still due to Carters.
Hattersleys sometimes causes the same problems with massive delivery lorries holding up the traffic to deliver to them...but i suppose we will have to by-pass Station Road or put up with it?
