Talgarth Road Parking
What is going on with TfL and Talgarth Road parking? A few months ago, LBH&F warned us that TfL wanted to abolish the parking on the westbound side of Talgarth Road between North End Road and Gliddon Road. I and at least 30 other residents wrote in or signed a petition (not many I know, but we were given very little notice) and a few weeks later I received a letter saying TfL had decided to leave the parking as it is. Parking in the streets around Barons Court is scarce as it is. The addition of Talgarth Road residents' cars would make it impossible. Now I see on this site that TfL are investigating whether the pavement is crumbling, only a few bays at a time, in case, they say, it is unsafe. It seems that 'health and safety reasons' have become the last refuge of the scoundrel: having met local resistance to stopping the parking, TfL are trying another tack. Or am I being too cynical?
