Threat to parking near Dens or tannadice

[hmac]

I think that parking on the pavement is difficult to control. You see it all over the place and, as you say, not every offender is booked. Perhaps a traffic warden might be able to explain the problem.

Until June this year there was no law in Scotland against parking on a pavement. There also isn't one on the streets around Dens except where there are double yellow lines, plus they throw the cones around now too.

Maybe the council boy could work on arranging better public transportation links, or help get planning permission through for the mighty to move to an area where less people live :-)

I'm astonished that anybody can find a space on a pavement considering the amount of wheelie bins these gadgies leave lying a boot.

Parking restrictions are out in place where it is deemed a hazard to park, why then does the so called hazard disappear just because a car has a blue badge on the dash board

Ooooft the most abused system in the history of systems.

Have you seen the disabled bays in the Woodside area? **** me more disabled their than Lourdes, it's ****ing incredible.

Mary wants to put an appearance there, plenty ****ing work, mind you she might have to get the ****ing bus as she might not get a parking space.

When Dens park was built, it was on rural/farmland, there was no houses around Dens.
It was the cooncil that built the hooses round Dens, they caused the problem.
I told that to a councillor, he went off in the huff !

Correct Deecom I lived on the corner of Moncur Crescent and looked right into Dens
When I got offered the house it was my decision wether to take it or not. I knew all
about the parking issues so it was my decision wether to live there or not. No point
Of moving there then complaining about the parking. Dens was there long before any
houses. I just worked around it when I wanted to park. Stupid ****ing councillor.

Is access for the fire brigade the reason for trying to stop people parking in certain areas?

[Oor Wullie]

The restrictions the councillor wants in place is
Only going to apply on match days. He says Dundee
And the Dabs are in agreement with it. Of course they
will doesn’t effect them so they won’t be giving a f u ck
Also says 98% agreement from residents. Well I’ll tell
You this if he came near my door he would be told to get
To f uck. I have relatives that visit me in there cars at all times

Have just read the proposal. Are the residents paying for the system? What happens if family members want to visit nd travel by car. Saturday's and Sunday's can be football days but they are often family visit days too.

[Oor Wullie]

The councillor who thought up the stupid idea is
Hoping it is free. Yes Saturday and Sunday are days when
Family visit. Painting lines and registering your car never
Heard o so much ****e. Should be kicked off the council
For coming up with stupid ideas like this. Embarrassing

You could apply that argument to just about any street now ,streets designed over a century ago ,throw in some homes having 2/3 cars which are getting bigger at every new model and fire appliances that need to carry more kit so they are getting bigger also ,parking over a hydrant is an issue but wouldn't apply to every vehicle.

Strawberry Bank at the top of the Perth road...!!! Nae danger are you getting a Rescue pump/ aerial down there.
