Traffice Management Controls in Campbeltown

[WC1]

Maybe I shouldn't have said that, in case it gives them ideas.

I spoke too soon. Walking back from the town this morning, I came across a surveyor at the end of Kirk Street, between Creagdhu Mansions and Ivybank, who told me he was "assessing the use of the parking bays" there. When I pointed out that there were no parking bays there, he told me it was a survey of where people were parking. So it looks like the yellow peril is set to spread.

As soon as one puts a vehicle on the road, they are regarded as a good source of funds by central and local government, with all legislation geared towards prising as much money out of them as possible.

In spite of this generosity on the part of the motorist, they are nevertheless regarded as a nuisance and treated like criminals.

Town centres throughout the country are on their last legs through the supermarket effect, and local authorities apparently combat this by making it extremely difficult to access town centres if you use a car, and if you can find a space you can only wait a limited time at risk of incurring a penalty, or if you find a space in a car park, the cost of this does not justify an extended visit to the town on a cost/benefit basis.

Today seen them in Burnside carpark twice back of 9.00am and 1.00pm taking note of the cars.

Not that long ago you couldnt come on here without some local politico filling up the bandwidth.
Have they nothing to say about this nonsense.

Gizmo, you cannot be serious. Seenoevil, Hearnoevil and Itwisnaeme are hard at work protecting the interests of the rates paying businesses of the town.

The fact that Tesco and the Co-Op probably contribute the biggest amount of retailers rates in the town, and that they have carparks without double yellow lines, is a mere coincidence

... or have I missed something ?

[Ross]

Needless to say as a resident of Mafeking Place I extremely surprised and some what angered at the appearance of the double yellow lines outside of my home. What kind of idiot decided to put double yellow lines all the way around a residential building. Would have been nice if they had contacted the residents directly for there views on the restrictions first.
Needless to say i will be making enquiries with the local council and transport department as to where they now expect me to park.
