LCC Space for cycling campaign 2014 - Parsloes Park at Ivy Walk

Many of the points I raised at our meeting regarding this campaign on 6/2/14 are on my list of access issues that I have been maintaining sporadically over many years. In some cases I have a photo to illustrate the issue. I saw this entrance to Parsloes Park last Autumn and I'm posting the photo here largely for the record.


Bastable Avenue

The controversy about the banned turn onto Bastable Avenue (see http://stibasa.blogspot.co.uk/2010/03/special-pleading-at-thames-view.html) has been raised again (see https://www.streetlife.com/conversation/3fyzbtj7n9be6/).

I went and took photos on 4/9/12 to see for myself what all the fuss was about, but since then some of the signs shown here have been removed

The writer on streetlife says that " there is only one sign on the wrong side of the road [sc: and it is on the wrong side of the road] which [sc: and it] is obscured at one point by a traffic light and also by high sided vehicles. You would not look on the left hand side of the road to turn right".

As the photo below shows there were 3 sets signs on the near side (where signs always are). The middle set had the CCTV warning sign. The second photo shows the furthest away of those three from a bit closer.
