Wildwood entrance

[henryscat]

Given the lines are not solid you can go over them.

Only if it is necessary and safe to do so. I don't think you could prove it was necessary to enter the hatched area that was put in at Wildwood for the act of turning into or out of the estate.

It looks to me more like an experiment, the council trying out a change and seeing if it helps or not. If not then remove them. I wish I had that sort of money to experiment with.

As far as I know it is more usual for experimental layouts to be tried with low level white/red sand filled barriers and/or cones than to go to all the trouble of marking.

Nope, have given up on that.

Bit defeatist...

My god I actually agree with Henrys Cat on something......

Why would you let the council get away with doing (or not) something they are legally obliged to do....

 

[johnny come lately]

I've sent in another FOI request requesting details of the reasons behind the addition of the lines and their subsequent removal, together with the costs involved. I make it they have until 1 July to reply, if they can be bothered.

Still no reply to the first one?

Nope, have given up on that so tried a different route this time in the hope of success.

I agree with others regarding this FOI. They are legally bound to answer you within a certain period of time. If they don't answer they must say why - eg data protection.
They probably hope you will forget about it and go away.... which will allow them to do things that are not scrutinised by the public, councillors or even their own bosses.
Don't give up. Ring and ask why they have not answered, then report them to the ombudsman or commissioner or whoever deals with this sort of thing.

haven't had a Topic in years. They were always more expensive than than the more common mars bar, twix marathon etc
Seriously though - Wildwood is not a concern to me but secrecy in local government is

he only ever questioned the questioners.

All: What a waste of money, yah boo sucks.
henryscat: Ask why it was done.
John: I have done just that.
henryscat: It could've been done for x, y, z reasons - I'm as interested as anyone.
All: You are always sticking up for the (insert often misattributed public body here) council.
henryscat: I'm not sticking up for them, I just think there must be a reason behind the decision - I'm as interested as anyone to know what it is.
All: Now they've gone and reversed the whole thing. Ha! Stick that in your pope and smike it Chat d'Henry!
henryscat: I wonder why they did that?
All: Jeffing hypocrite! (i've often effed but never jeffed - it feels good)

oh stop being all sensible and making valid points to spoil the witch-hunters' fun!

indeed..

I've heard that there may be people who used to buy Topics in whatever Kwiksave is called now, but have been put off by the altered junction arrangements.

 

[WildwoodPaul]

In an attempt to get back on the topic of this conversation and as I'm bored of this running and running. I will make calls to the council myself tomorrow to find out what is going on. Surely I should be able to speak to someone who knows about it eh?

 

[Withnail]

In an attempt to get back on the topic...

Once a topic has turned to Topics, is it possible to go off-topic when referring to Topics?

I will make calls to the council myself tomorrow to find out what is going on

Keep us informed - not replying to a FOI request is poor form at the very least, not strictly legal at best i thought?

Sorry. I take the blame for derailment of thread. Will now skulk off only to return when you have news of what is going on

Ticket to ride, white line highway
Tell all your friends, they can go my way
Pay your toll, sell your soul
Pound for pound costs more than gold
The longer you stay, the more you pay
My white lines go a long way
Either up your nose or through your vein
With nothin to gain except killin’ your brain
