The latest Highways customer service bulletin is interesting. The issue of insensitive motorists plonking their vehicles in the middle of the 'island' at the Coop is surfacing.
An entry in the bulletin states:
"Customer has called to say that there has been a newly surfaced section of island in which vehicles have started to park on and cause obstruction for pedestrians with push chairs, wheelchairs and members of the public with mobility scooters. Have advised if the drivers are parking dangerously then the police should be informed to visit and ticket. But customer has asked can we inspect and is there any we can do to restrict people from parking here, i.e. Bollards."
The inspector's notes state:
"Area needs to be assessed for parking issue and if bollards would be appropriate."
I'm not the only person in the village to look on aghast at drivers who have just regarded this area of footpath as a handy place to leave their car.
VXOs. What are these? Vehicle crossovers in highways vocabulary and dropped kerbs in plain English which is normally the first language in Cranfield. The service bulletin reveals a rich harvest of VXO - paid for by the householder - orders as part of the recent footpath works. Ironically they all already had dropped kerbs until someone told them they didn't. Nice work for Amey.
