| So the cost for the CPZ goes to the tax payer, and there is no business case to give any idea of when each might break even. The vote was taken and work carried out in a rush, with some of the information, comments and votes being ditched into the LBH spam folder (I understand my neighbour has this in writing that this is where his comments went). I can see how Council costs are mounting. We have just had a road 'deep clean'. Don't know how much it cost but the build up to it was very exciting. We all had letters through the door saying that this deep clean was about to happen and that all vehicles would need to be off the road or they would be towed and the Police would be involved. Then the official notices appeared on lampposts, the type of ones which appear in the local paper, so I suppose that may have happened too. Those big yellow signs were wrapped around the lampposts all along the road and neighbours kindly offered spaces on driveways to make sure we all followed and fitted in with the plan to do this important job. On the day there were several cars left on the road probably nothing to do with people who live here, and one looks like it is stuffed full of junk. Sorry for any owners who might be towed but we were all clear the job had to be done. Must have cost a few hundred tax payers £'s to get to this stage just for this one small road. Anyhow, the splendid big street sweeper lorry appeared and drove around the corners missing the gutter, leaving the gutter full of leaves and muck, and better still, drove around the parked cars too. Would have saved a lot of money just to have put a note through the doors to say street sweeping was going to be done and then just taken pot luck as to how much could have been reached. The notices have all gone now so I guess somebody did a full check of the work and are happy the deep clean was a tax payers success. :( |
