What a Slow Coach our Council are. We were promised that the WHITE LINES would be painted in , two weeks after the dropped kerb and Anti Skid surface was put in.
Now 4 weeks on and we are still waiting. After talking to T/C, it seems we are waiting on EDF ENERGY to find the time to install the electrics to the Poles so the orange globes can be put on. Then the Council says it would only take two days to Paint in The neccessary Lines and the Crossing. But EDF feel it is not that urgent ( well not until someone is seriously injured or killed anyway ).
This crossing was delayed because a certain person in a nearby Terraced House put in an objection to it. The crossing was given planning permission and Work had started.
When I made enquiries about the objection, I was hitting a brick wall, but I had my suspicions as a vehicle was parked half way on the kerb outside their house. When I checked the Planning Site, I noticed that an application had been put in for a dropped kerb by the same person and from that address just feet away from where the crossing is to be and now situated.
I Objected to this Dropped Kerb Application as there could not be a driveway situated in the middle of zig zag lines and only feet away from the crossing. This would present a hazard.
The consultation period has now closed for planning application no. 08/00001/FUL
Current Status: Pending Consideration. Target Date 28th Feb 2008
Lo and Behold, I found out that the applicant is a Labour Councilor for Tilbury Riverside & Co.
SAY NA MORE, NUDGE, NUDGE, WINK, WINK, NEED A NEW MOTOR JOHN, SPECIAL HAND-SHAKE, NODS AS GOOD AS A WINK TO A BLIND BAT.
Lets just see what the Planning Committee do about this one. I've got paperwork to prove monkey movers are operating in this Council.
Watch this space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, i wonder how many of the good folk of Tilbury riverside know their councillor does not live in their ward? it always strikes me as rather cynical for a person to get elected to represent an area in which they do not live and probably wouldn't want to! I would be very surprised if the councillor does not get his way. He will prove to be just as self serving as a fair few other councillors in this borough and probably doesn not give a monkey's about the people of Ockendon. I mean, it's not as if we are going to get a chance to vote him out is it?

Thanks for your comment SIR.
Exactly how I feel.
The other councillor in the Tilbury ward supposedly lived in Nigeria!
He has now resigned
Why not campaign for some railings where that certain lady drives her car over the pavement.
Perhaps the forum will contribute?
