Please can someone kindly post a link to the survey results that led to the new parking permits etc?

I believe this is what is known as a service strip that belongs to the highways authority, not the adjacent property. If you are aware that this is not the case then please let me know and I will ask them to move the post.

How come residents need planning permission to change most things on the exterior of our houses but the council can plant these on someone’s front lawn without notice?

I have just opened the office post and note that the "trial" lines for this wildly popular scheme are to be laid in early March, including in places where it would not be possible to park, which is novel and doubtless to add to the aesthetics. Let us hope there will be another "consultation" after six months

...and of course it's only a trial scheme for six months, isn't it. Isn't it? Well they said it was. Of course it's not. But it's supposed to be. At the end of that, if it were not a success then they'd need to dig all these signs out again. Who will determined whether it's a success, and by what criteria? Well, I guess the people who are going to get all the money from the permits...

I keep wondering how many pot holes could have been filled for the cost of installing each post. Money, which in my opinion could have been spent elsewhere, benefitting far more people.

These posts are being installed in readiness for the residents' parking scheme. They will be cleaned when it comes into force.

It is a concern that this leads to more street furniture but it is inevitable with the scheme.

Interesting to see all of the new sign posts being installed in the town centre. How is it that The Bell, for example, have planing permission refused for a wall, which is perfectly in keeping with the town, but unsightly posts and signs can be fitted in the footpaths which are an absolute eyesore?
