Bus Drivers Petition Greenwich Council

[busman]

Seems like bus drivers in the Plumstead area are sick and tired of the council’s inaction against dangerous/illegal parking that blights Plumstead High Street and the area outside Plumstead Station. Not only is it dangerous but it slows journey times too. Original article here:

There is a lot of local disquiet about Greenwich Council's complete lack of parking enforcement. I think the council just announced that it was actually going to recruit the full complete of traffic "wardens" (or whatever they're called these days). Given the endless stream of photos I see of appalling parking in the borough the council could add handsomely to their piles of unspent money (from developers) for transport improvements. IIRC parking revenues and fines HAVE to be spent on transport projects.

When other councils are accused of treating parking as a cash cow, and funding is squeezed, RBG's approach seems mystifying. The road layout around there is not great either.
