Flattering of you to have quoted my apocalyptic vision but be careful with the position of that possessive apostrophe, Reg (I'm a Jeffery, not a Jefferys)!
:)
But does that commit you to 50 quid every few months? Don't forget, while road repairs once used to last forever, now the quick plop of asphalt and a pat down with a spade only lasts a month or two before the repair starts crumbling and disappearing…
It's okay Barbara, I wasn't citing your reply at all. It was just my own personal reply to how the whole carve up was done in the first place. With one car and off street parking it's not affected me, we've even shared our parking with other neighbo…
Jon, I had no intention of discriminating against any resident, which is why I want the re-survey to cover a wider area than the earlier one. I did write 'at least as far down'...........Clearly that is not far enough!

Jon Clarke Info:
Hi, Jon here, web marketing and advertising guy, the founder of MediaStarz.co.uk and a few other things. I have several interests on the go at once, but love to kick back with family, friends, live music and games/gadgets, supporting West Ham is my rollercoaster and getting a chance to play softball is always worth it.
Please say hi and add me as a friend, I'll add all manner of things here over time, great internet widgets, mobile platforms, helpful sites, etc.
We have a few of us looking at how we can make this site more fun, helpful and informative. If you have an idea please do tell me and we'll look at it. If you want to help create something for all here then your help would be totally appreciated.

Clock House Zone 2&3 CPZ Public Meeting, 24 June, Report for all those who didn't attend

Green and pleasant land
