Widening Rhyddings Street

[Neil]

On more than one occasion i have seen a light blue transit van come from Park Lane and drive down the footpath on Rhyddings Street because he could not fit between the parked cars. In an emergency an ambulance could do the same, not too unsafe for the rare occasions needed. The problem is what the ambulance does when it gets to the top. It cant fit down Park Lane so that is the real problem. Leave my street alone and sort out your own park381

I am assuming you live near Rhyddings Street not Fielding Lane park381. What about people past the half way mark and closer to Fielding Lane. The ambulance would not need to use Rhyddings Street at all for them.

You refer to someone with a heart condition - was this not a lady on Rhyddings Street or was that a seperate issue that the council quoted when they called the last meeting at the Civic Theatre.

The access to park lane, is a problem if rhyddings street is blocked due to cars double parked as per previous posts.
The heart conditon lady, I have already posted about that it was a recent issue, the other one on rhyddings street was a lady with a broken hip, and the ambulance had problems of access.

That is a fair comment Neil, we will agree to disagree on this one

Sorry about that simon, after a note by the moderator as well, oh dear

Parc381.. I am comfused as to how much better it is to come from rhyddings st???

As Chloe l has quite rightly said it is much better access from the 2 main rds at each end of park lane.

If you look down park lane the clearance for driving down is the same all the way down it entire length... So if a vehicle can access from rhyddings st.. it can access from fielding lane or hawthorn ave.. just the same width but easier to turn in..

Parc I know the problem of quotes, I see people part quoting from a persons post.. but I can not work out how

There I go again a full quote!!. Rhyddings street is the centre.It is direct access to the park, if you stand at the bottom of rhyddings street and look up, you will see the park gates, so it's the centre access.On the Hawthorne Ave. access I don't think ambulances or fire service even consider that other than if the problem is between hawthorne ave and rhyddings street. Fielding lane yes is a possible if the problem is between fielding lane and rhyddings street.Mind that was when we had the local ossy station, the lads used to know.

[Neil]

So you are still trying to blame Rhyddings Street for the fact that Park Lane is too narrow for an ambulance. It is your road causing your problem not my road.

I know this is off-topic but the query is in this thread so I hope you'll bear with me.

All you do is pick up the quote in the usual way and then when you've got it in your post just highlight and delete the bits you don't require.

I think Simon meant like this

add your own bits

between other quotes.

One way is to copy the whole quote then paste it in a few times and delete what you dont need from each quote leaving just the bits you want

[WillowTheWhisp]

The way I do that is to copy the whole post just once, take out the bits I don't want at all and then put an end tag where I want to insert my bit and a new opening tag for the next part of the quote and so on.

[Neil]

I have done that also - its hard to show the tags for the expaination unless you show the end one first

You can also use the wrap [quote] tags around selected text button, (last button on right above text area) but it's just as easy to type the tags is where ever you want to quote something
