There has been other schemes like this that have been complete failures. Woolwich springs to mind.<br />All we would end up with is a larger green area in the central reservation but that would just be dead land. Who would want to spend time there? With a single lane traffic would increase leading to bigger tailbacks feeding out onto the other main roads that Church Street meets at either end. <br />At the moment bus users benefit by wizzing down the bus lane and that offers an incentive to use a bus. Take that away and the bus will sit in traffic. With added traffic on nearby roads due to added congestion on Church Street, buses on those routes will be held up too. <br />It wont ever get people out of their cars. The time benefit of using buses goes, and if people are going to be stuck in traffic then they will at least want to do it in their cars.JamesPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987253320824537257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-91742720544167217522010-06-14T12:20:30.525+01:002010-06-14T12:20:30.525+01:00Shipwright's Palace, the subject of Section 10...Shipwright's Palace, the subject of Section 106 money did not come up in our particular meeting, and as I understood it the Centre is still trying to raise funds to get a manager...where has this rumour come from?!Suenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-45598703146901425602010-06-14T11:35:02.401+01:002010-06-14T11:35:02.401+01:00I have been looking after the garden that the prop...I have been looking after the garden that the proposals for the new cycle way/ footpath through the estate would seek to destroy.<br /><br />I love my garden and have poured so much of my heart, time effort and indeed money, into turning a neglected wilderness into as beautiful and positive place as I possibly can. As well as improving the estate the huge benefits to myself in terms of improved mental and physical health cannot be exagerated.<br /><br />Local children have helped me planting and growing a huge variety of plants , both vegatable and decorative. They have enjoyed playing in an area of the estate that was was previousley used by addicts etc and was very unwelcoming and unused. I had waited 6 yrs to get an allotment which shows how valuable and valued they are.<br /><br />Of course it sounds like I am being put in a very awkward position in that other improvements on the estate seem to be conditional on my garden being destroyed. So I am presented with a very harsh choice. But we are still at an early stage, even though it is being presented as no choice about my gardens fate seeming possible.<br /><br />Well we shall see eh;O} Ideally we should get all the benefits offered without having to destroy a valuable and now much loved community resource. Let's see what we can do!John Rhodesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-69804891829954811552010-06-14T09:06:31.837+01:002010-06-14T09:06:31.837+01:00See Ianvisits latest posting.See Ianvisits latest posting.shipwrights palacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129884466436576116.post-65836863028289250582010-06-14T08:58:52.483+01:002010-06-14T08:58:52.483+01:00how timely! the Creekside Centre came up in a conv...how timely! the Creekside Centre came up in a conversation yesterday, as a result of an idea circulating that Sec 106 from Convoy's will go to the Creekside Centre despite their being a multitude of opportunities and needs for "ecological" environment assistance along that part of the Thames. Surely with all the development currently taking place along the Creek, The Creekside centre shouldn't need to syphon off Sec 106 funds from Convoy's?shipwrights palacenoreply@blogger.com
