Widening Rhyddings Street - Page 10

I really dislike a certain property with a hedge over hanging the wall onto the footpath and there cars parked on the footpath as well. The next time my lad scratches his face on the hedge as we try and squeeze past between it and the cars, I will be contacting the police/council/god/local vigilante

Good idea that, the cars shouldn't be on the footpath in the first place, are they not overspill from rhyddings st

, tis a not do according to the highway code, they are also parked near to a road junction. Have a look at this

To who ever, if you feel you must deduct Karma points from me, please add your signature to it. As has been posted before it's not the points that matter, but the fact that you haven't the courage to sign your name

Glad the link is some good to you, the cars I was'nt sure who's they were, rhyddings or park, but will agree they are a pain in the *****,it's no wonder mothers with prams are walking in the road as they get to the end of the lane (park entrance)

Rhyddings overspill park on Hornby. In fact a few Rhyddings residents usually park on Hornby - it's cheaper in door mirrors.

I will tell you something about all the Grass Verge meetings that will make you smile. One of the most vocal about it does not even own a car

Aren't there also some sort of regulations regarding bushes which overhang the garden wall and obstruct the footpath?

Neil · 17-03-2005, 23:04

Yes. There are all sorts of rules the council dont enforce especially as we are in a conservation area. I am yet to understand what they are conserving. Most people I think dont know what it means. You cant cut down trees, or structually change the appearance of the front of the property. Cant add a velux window on front facing roofs.

I heard about the council contacting a neighbour who had cut down some trees but they did nothing. I removed some bushes from my garden when I first moved in but had no idea of the rules. You would think you would be informed as a new owner.

That sounds about right
