hope this explains things better!

How will putting down wider curbstones have the effect of widening the street

There are notices there now stating "No parking on the grass", plus the term used was "Widening Rhyddings street", plus there are trees on that section of the street, are they going to take those up.The figures quoted for the project was £8000
As for fire engines no chance unless they bump the cars out of the way, there was an ambulance called to attend a heart attack victim several weeks ago, it took a full 25mins for the vehicle to negotiate that section of the street.

Is there an explanation to go with that?

If you have some additional information, please let's hear it, as for Simons reply, did you read all the posts, that may explain the reply !!

I am very sorry about the way my first message was worded. First of all the Area Council meeting is not held at the Conservative club it is held at the Town Hall. The widening of Rhyddings Street has been going on for years. Now is the only time they have got any money for this to be done. Also I have been informed from a good sorce that it is not illegal to put down the curb stones. I would like to know what parking at the top of Rhyddings Street has anything to do with having parking for the Conservative Club which is siuated at the bottom of Rhyddings Street.

Could that be us thread wandering again, I assume you are talking about the top bit of Rhyddings st. the bit adjacent to the park regarding the widening.

Considering it was Park381 who started the thread, and Less who referred to the conservative club I'm more than a little curious as to why your first visit to this message board was an attack on Simon. As for the reference to the illegality of the kerb stones (please note they are kerb stones, not curb stones) that was a quotation of something said by the council's "official road planner" not a point of view expressed by any member here.

Perhaps you, SHE, are the one who should get their facts right before "mouthing off"

paulthepony · 07-03-2005, 00:14

i have to agree with you on this one SHE, the meetings are held at the town tall, but i did not know it has been going on for years, as for the curb stones i think your right, its not illegal to put them down but its more illegal to park on any grass verges if there are signs up! as for some one saying con club,councalers(i know that is spellt worng)and meetings we all have to go somewhere for a drink! AND to park 381, i have herd about an ambulance being called up there but my details are a bit thin as yet but will find out more!!!

Gobsmacked · 07-03-2005, 00:16

The legality of the kerb stones may well depend on where they are being placed.

paulthepony · 07-03-2005, 00:25

ok, my spelling my not be up to scrath but i will get in toutch with my contacts to find out the rules on the stones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gobsmacked · 07-03-2005, 00:30

This is purely conjecture on my part (inspired by fencing disputes) relating to the statement that the road had been narrowed at one time by adding grass verges. It would appear that the grass is therefore on an area which was once roadway as opposed to pavement. If the kerb stones are now to be placed between the grass and the road are they possibly in the middle of what was once all road rather than at the edge of the pavement area? Perhaps this is what called their legality into question?
