Barrington Avenue grass verge protection

John Fareham and John Abbott are working to resolve problems with motorists driving on the grass verge of the Barrington Avenue square. We have received complaints from local residents to the effect that some people have been driving over the grass verge and parking on the square. We have arranged for notices to be issued by traffic wardens to ask motorists not to drive in a manner which is devastating to the state of the grassed area. These have met with a response varying from agreeable to downright adversarial. We are therefore arranging for costings to be prepared for means to block the grassed area off, for example with rocks or other such obstacles. We accept that so far as parking space is concerned, demand exceeds supply but we do not consider that to be a valid excuse for wantonly trashing spaces of obvious visual and residential amenity.
