What they should do is just widen the road outside medical centre, allowing two way traffic alongside much needed parking space; the grass verge is already worn away one side with parking...get rid and then free up two lanes again... cut in to big verge on other side also...  Those who decide these things, probably do not live by to suffer the consequences...  ---------- Post added 11-04-2014 at 21:37 ----------  Yes... if it is true they are going ahead with it...sigh! Not a good idea pulling traffic off a main through road and on to back roads before they have to.

(off on a rant tangent allert!!) then we can throw more tax payers money on war on the other side of the world all the while the UK sinks in to the cutback quagmire state we are in...sigh...

ApplesPears   10 #16 Posted April 12, 2014 I am a disabled driver who lives on Skelton Grove. It is extremely tricky to park anywhere near my house due to the amount of patients visiting the doctors parking on our street.  Hi wouldn't you be eligible for those disabled parking spots where they reserve you a place outside your house? I don't know much about them but I have seen them before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I don't know much about them but I have seen them before.  Wouldn't make any difference these days. People would park on it anyway (i'm alright Jack... sod you). The Drop Kerb sections for wheelchair users are rgularly parked over ! Edited April 13, 2014 by kevvy text Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
