CAR PARK

[S6MMF]

I know there is much debate currently about the parking situation around town, and although I dont really have any problem with it (we have just moved back from Cumbria where you CAN NOT park anywhere with out paying or displaying a clock sign in restricted areas to show when you parked up, eg 1hour limit), I did wonder about the suitability of St Kirans school play ground area as a possible parking area? I wont go as far as to suggest bulldosing the school as I'm sure its listed or somthing, and I've not researched this idea in any shape or form, its just a wee suggestion I thought I'd put on here to see what folks might think??

Point one regarding parking please refer to .. http://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk/property/ ... ary-school

Point two, 20th century experience was that too many cars led councils to introduce parking charges to stop the motorist from abandoning their vehicles somewhere convenient. With the need to take home the weekly shop (in the car) as opposed to the housewife buying stuff daily the pattern of shopping changed. So decades later parking meters have chased the motorists from town centres which as retail areas have died the death, roll on charity shops and bookies. We (and the rest of the country) do our weekly shop at a supermarket, doesn't matter if it's Tesco, Co-op, Morrisons, Asda, Aldi, Lidl, or whoever, they get the trade because they understand the needs of the motorist and don't charge him £1.20 for parking outside their shops for 20 minutes.

Anyway, if parking was such a problem why have they not appointed a traffic warden to sort out any problems ? Another one could be off the Jobseekers allowance figures

Nothing wrong with being a cynic, I'm one myself.

Apparently a pessimist is an optimist with experience. I think cynics could be included there.

Oh well was just a thought....... a non starter tho! there is a big carpark at snipefield at the old call centre anyways so ample parking with just a 5 min walk into town. Parking aplenty
