The Council spends a small fortune on consultations. The resident below echoes the commonly held view that the results are ignored.
As the invisible Cllr Mary Weale(of the huge allowance) is said to say, “we hear, but we don’t listen.
Residents are getting fed up with bike hire companies abusing public space for huge private profit.
Here is an example of the council asking for opinions and then ignoring the results. Why bother?
“I am getting a bit fed-up with the residents’ car hating council, taking our local residents’ parking space away, recently for “tree pits” and now they want more for “e-scooter and e-bike” parking, when the effect of the bays created so far has been for their operators to dump yet more of these nuisances in the Borough, where they continue to be left blocking pavements, with no effective action taken.
My RA has responded to previous such “consultations” and our views are simply ignored.
Perhaps the Dame might like to express her disapproval of those responsible in the hope of embarassing them into being slightly more considerate of residents’ views.
Off on another hike to where I was able to park my car.”
