Just heard that the very narrow no-through road that gives access to the four houses where we live is going to have timber extraction lorries going up and down for the next six months. Some sort of traffic light scheme is being suggested but how that will work for joining traffic I have no idea. I don't fancy having to reverse all the way up the twisty hill. I think I'd probably simply get out of the car, lock it and leave it and say Sod 'Em. Or tell them it's a new car to me and I don't know how to release the handbrake (when the seatbelts aren't being worn...heh heh
) and then proceed to start reading cover to cover the 160 page manual.
And delivery drivers? I reckon that when the light at the bottom of the road has just gone red, it will take the timber lorry fifteen minutes to drive down. Is the courier driver going to hang around that long ? I can see them refusing to deliver.
So I want to find out if I can get at least a temporary injunction while alternative routes are considered.
Our Parish council are toothless.
Requests to see stuff under the FOI Act is also a good place to start with. The Health and Safety Risk Assessment for starters. That then leads on to requesting to see the relevant training certificates etc of the operatives involved. I can and will remain bloody minded on this.
Yeah I am grumpy.
Even more than normal.
On the other hand, a financial sweetener would go a long way. And no, I don't want any conifers, thank you.
If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.
