Neighbours from hell?

Some details from the latest CBC-Amey customer service bulletin


People are ignoring markings and parking opposite our driveway on a narrow road making it very difficult or impossible for us to access our property.  As a result of the parking the grass verge outside our house has been seriously eroded. We raised the problem over a month ago but no progress seems to have been made



Response:
Anonymous report unable to respond to customer.    The Council has adopted policies and rules for managing the highway network through its Local Transport Plan.     This has been developed to reflect the key transport needs of the community.   From these key needs a works programme is developed to reflect local priorities in collaboration with Central Bedfordshire elected Councillors, and Town & Parish Councils.     Resources for implementing changes to the highway network are limited as there is a continuing need to target resources where they will result in the greatest benefit. Therefore for your request to receive further consideration, it is important that it:    a) Aligns with the general priorities of the Council.  b) That the request has wider local support from others in your area.  c) That the request receives the support of both your Central Bedfordshire Councillor     and your Town or Parish Council.    Requests that have this support may be included in a future programme of works when other work is also scheduled in your area, in which case you would receive feedback to that effect.
my own suggestion is that the complainant also involves Cranfield Parish Council. 


Nice people in Cranfield?

I would like to know how long before something is done about the trees which overhang all our gardens to the rear of REDACTED. We have all complained & NOTHING IS DONE. The trees are the property of the house to the rear. The owner has been asked politely to trim the trees & his response was "REDACTED off...I want my privacy."

Thanks Dick. And maybe a lesson in good manners for one or two residents.
