Dear Messenger
I agree with the local resident that wrote about Fir Vale, especially the parking. Why should residents have to pay to park outside their own houses? We have a garage with one car inside, the other is on the drive. I have lost count as to how many times we can’t even get our car out of the drive as people park so far over into our entry we can’t get out. And when we do get out we come home after one or two hours and can’t get in for the same reason. Also they park opposite the driveway then it’s a struggle to get out and we are backwards and forwards which is so annoying.
Today, 4th December, someone blocked us in and we could not get out from 9 o clock to 4 o clock. If my husband wants to get his car out of the garage he has to get mine out of the drive and can’t even park outside our house as someone is parked there, so he has to drive up the road to find a spot. He then gets his car out, then has to put mine back on the drive as he does not want to obstruct somebody’s spot outside their house. A few week’s ago it was the same thing; it was pouring with rain, we came home from shopping, could not get in, cars either side blocking our entry. We had to park half way up the road and carry shopping in the pouring rain. It was parked there all day. Around 5 o clock the person came and when we complained all we got was cheek. Can you imagine how we felt? This council should get something done about it. Get some marking on the road so only the residents can park. Remember we pay our road tax, as do others on the road.
Thank you,
A local resident
