Which is a bit of a gobful of a post title, I know, but …
But does sort of some things up, I think …
Whatever … !!
In either case, I thought I’d best put a couple of things up, at any rate.
First off!
The Rollason Way Parking Saga!
Do you remember, a while ago, I mentioned I’d been to a meeting of Rollason Way resident’s that — amongst other things — talked about the renewal of the clamping scheme in the area, and possible alternatives for it … ?
Well as you can possibly tell from the photo’s I’ve included, the voting forms are out, courtesy of Sara Bartleman and co.
We’ve got until the 16th of this month to get those voting forms back in.
And, for those of us who want to keep the current clamping scheme in operation, it’s Option Four on the voting form.
And Option Five is ALREADY going through, although lord knows when!

Let’s get moving on, shall we … ?
Yes, let’s … !!
Phew!
In the past three weeks or so, it looks like the OS is seeing increasing numbers of hack attacks, through its Help and Support centres.
What can I say … ?
I’m a Mac fan, come on, you can see me smirking, from where you are, now, can’t you … ?
At any rate, the Great Satan that is Microsoft have written about it, so I’m assuming if you follow their advise, you should — possibly — be OK.

Oh, and one last thing I managed to pick up from the BBC’s news pages … ?
Good for them.
Now, do I know any politician I can talk to about this … ?
Any one … ??
* I know about three or four people with it, in additional to EVERY single machine operated by Essex County Council, and ECC libraries.
º Did I tell you I’d read — and thoroughly enjoyed — William Gibson’s Neuromancer trilogy of ground breaking novels … ? The Finn was always a favourite character …
So what did you vote? The options seem pretty mean. Where are visitors supposed to park if someone already has a car and only one permit? Is parking by non-residents a problem? I imagine it could be tempting for people using the station if there was no control.
ReplyDeleteHave a look at some of the other posts: long term residential parking in Rollason Way has been a heck of a problem for quite some time.
ReplyDeleteEffectively, residents have access to ¾ of a parking space, each, as a result of planning mix-ups and over development.
What reduced that space was the simple fact that, at first, we had a lot of commuters taking advantage of the apparently free parking.
To combat this, South Anglia — the housing association we all rent or part buy from — issued two parking permits per flat: one for residents, and one for our visitors. And enforced this with a clamping scheme, which helped free up spaces in the carparks. (This was after our mutual friend died, by the way.)
But didn’t necessarily free up any space on Rollason Way.
Crest Nicholson — the developers of Rollason Way, and the adjacent privately owned streets on Wharf Road, just behind my place — have also — supposedly — put in a scheme into place to prevent more of this, but that isn’t, seemingly, helping.
Saying that, there do seem to be less cars on the street, but little in the way of visible measures.
However, many in the area feel that having the road adopted by Brentwood Council would help.
But that’s possibly a whole other post.
