lets hope not eh? lol

And incidentally theres an white bloke that parks on the zig zags outside school every bloody day....

Like i say the point i am trying to make is that the council should have looked at the maximum occupancy of the function room, and decided if the area could handle the traffic this will cause.
Your quite correct Onlyme every event can cause problems and inconsiderate parking at schools, football clubs etc is a major problem for emergency services.

The area around St Mary's church on a sunday morning was a problem but we approached the priest after a fire appliance was hampered responding to a house fire on Hawthorne Avenue and the problem got better, but I'll not go into that or I will be accused of being prejudice against catholics.

I am sincere when I say this is not a race issue, just a concern that these events are so well attended that the parking becomes a real issue, and the roads around James St are narrow and tight at the best of times. If people park to near a junction for instance a fire appliance has no chance of turning into that street.

James st club in its hay day was licenced for 600 but never got that full, and if there was a function on 90% of people walked or got taxis the rest parked on the car park, traffic issues were never a problem.

firefighter raised a valid concern and it was suggested it was because the place was going to be used by asians , if he indeed is a firefighter is the next accusation going to be that he climbs ladders more slowly when rescueing an asian from a burning house ?
Nothing would suprise me Accyman the way people on here twist things and make it sound like its race that you have an issue with, I say again Inconsiderate parking due to well attended events is the issue here nothing else. And I would like to state that I will always put my life on the line and enter burning buildings no matter what colour, sex or shape the victim is as fast as I possibly could, even you 'Less', the only thing that would slow me down is not being able to get a fire appliance into or down a street due to inconsiderate parking.
