There was another strong turnout by Flitt Leys residents on Wednesday at Parish Council and a tentative proposal for double yellow lines at the bottom near the High Street. Unfortunately there is no consensus among all the residents about whether this is a solution and we are still struggling to find one that is. Anyway, that would not happen if agreed until the next financial year.
But the chair of the PC put it well - she reminded everyone that this problem is not caused by the hot food takeaways. It arises from the insufferable, anti-social behaviour of some patrons who turn up in Flitt Leys and frankly do not give a damn where they leave their cars or the effect it has on residents. Plus the abuse which a small number have handed out when they have been challenged.
Now I write as a user of the takeaways. I park out on the High Street by the kerbside and not blocking anyone's drive. For five minutes. How easy is that?
Delise also acknowledged that we are struggling to find options but we backed another go at a meeting between highways officer David Bowie and senior Councillor Brian Spurr and residents. This was supposed to have taken place recently but didn't happen. Don't ask.
And CBC councillor Sue Clark suggested that repainting the lines on the takeaway parking area might use space more rationally. It's a small thing but we have to think incrementally.
