I have to agree with this post last week I was coming down lodghill road very slowly and a child ran out from between the cars that were parked on my left.
As there were a lot of children around I was going very slow.
However I was startled and stood on the breaks and went into a skid on the ice and only by the grace of god missed the child.
I still wake up at night seeing that child running out in front of me.
I am amazed that nothing is done, I now hear that the traffic warden is retiring and he will not be replaced because due to the little amount of tickets he gave out it is deemed not necessary.
I think the opposite I feel we should have 2 wardens then if one is lazy like our present warden then he would be shown up by the other.
The local residents, who claim that they are worried that if we get Temp wardens from Inverness, they will not be as lenient as Sandy, also shock me.
Will they still say this if a child is killed?
This is pure laziness or perhaps Sandy is just to shy and not the type of fellow to upset people by giving them a ticket.
What ever it is we deserve to have a real traffic warden who will keep this road clear.
It is a thin street, it is a bus Route, it is the main entrance to the school, it has yellow lines and no parking between 6am and 8pm but no one cares.
I even know of people who work near by and park there daily because they know they will never get a ticket.
Something has to be done before a child is killed, the quicker Sandy retires the better.
