I don't necessarily think they outnumber us non-moaners and non-NIMBYs. However the people at the top of Coldean aren't really affected by football parking so they're unlikely to respond, and I think there are a large number of people who just won't give a stuff either way so won't put across...
Mine has just arrived in the post and I'm pretty sure everybody in my house will be voting no. Although I doubt it'll make any difference as all of the moaners and NIMBY's will be block voting yes. The only thing I agree with are the planned yellow lines for Forest Road, because it is too narrow...
I think the cynic in you is correct. When the Resident's association have spoken about this they have never cited that their main concern is the emergency services and the buses. They just say it's an 'inconvenience' and a 'nightmare' for us all. When it clearly isn't as bad as they are making out.
Can you not tar all of us with the same brush? Because most of us really don't give a damn about people parking. As long as it legal, and doesn't stop the 24 bus service getting up there. That bus service is shocking enough as it is and doesn't need help.
Or we could just do that outside of the people who have complained? Not that it'd bother us unless the council want to charge us for parking in our own driveway and garage.
But in all honesty this is the thing that bothers me. If the Coldean residents association continue they way they are...
Hmmm I think I agree it does seem a bit high. Not everybody can afford to run a car nowadays. And even if it was 10,000 cars they wouldn't all be on the road as quite a few houses round the area have driveways
I think the worst roads for irresponsible things is rushlake, middleton and forest road. Sadly I live around there so see a lot of it. It does annoy me how the coldean residents association seem to tarnished every brighton fan with the same brush. As long as it's legal and sensible it is fine...
I live in Coldean and nobody in my family has a problem with people parking sensibly and legally around the area during the football games. The problem we do have is with them parked on the corners, the grass verges, the pavements and over driveways. That is when it becomes dangerous and annoying.
