Hi
so the siuation is that there is a yellow line of 1 cars length in a line of parking barking bays for about 7-10 cars. The yellow line is there becauses that used to be a drive way for someones house but they fenced the drive way in and made an entrance elsewhere.
now this yellow line is just to the left, outside my house to the left.
[_pb_] [_pb_] [_pb_][_pb_]_yl_[_pb_][_pb_][_pb_][_pb_] parking bays
=========================================== pavement
_________Fence____________[my house][3 other houses] houses
so now my mum phoned the coucnil today requesting they put a motorcycle bay (in the "_yl_" place on my hugely artistic diagram) there as they have also put one right at the far end of my road aswell with ground anchors.
they said that i would need to right to the engineering services of my council and would require a petition from the local residents.
Now my bike along with my sisters are parked in a garage behind the row of terraced houses, however my scooter is parked out front. there is another man approx 10 doors down who has a scooter and parks in his front garden and there is also a a man with an R6 and another with a bandit down the far end of the road.
now this bay can serve as two purposes (1) as bike bay for everyone else (obvious i know) (2) as a buffer zone for my car or my dads car which we would park to the right of the bay (we live near a mini cab office and they regulary do three point turns in the most stupid of places and twice my sisters car has been scraped.
my question is has anyone else ever done a petition for a similar cause and if so how many people did you get to sign as i only have, including me, my sister and dad, 3 other people on the road who i know would sign it.
any help would be grateful and sorry for the overly long post.
thanks
