Loveridge Avenue traffic proposals

John Fareham and John Abbott wish to explain the principles behind the proposals for Loveridge Avenue traffic schemes. Council policy requires any resident wanting to acquire a dropped kerb to have a gap of at least 14ft. between the front of their house and the boundary of their property. This policy was set by the ruling Labour group; since no gardens on the north side of Loveridge Avenue are that long, we are trying to get round Labour policy so you can park on your property. . As John Fareham made clear at Area Committee, supported on matters of fact by the Council officers, neither we nor any officer of the council have said the proposals mean that those on the south side cannot apply, through the usual channels, for dropped kerbs at their own individual homes if their gardens are the right length. It is of course lamentable that others, in the pursuit of their own party political objectives, have suggested otherwise in defiance of the facts.
