Amberley Close blocked by ambulance ‘for hour’ over parking
Cllr Jill Desayrah previously organised a petition to have the grass verge area by the road converted into parking spaces although had been told by Worcestershire County Council it could not be done because of services beneath the surface, making the job ‘too expensive’.
She was contacted by a woman, who did not criticise the ambulance service, saying the situation highlighted the need for extra parking, and even a dedicated bay for ambulances so that paramedics could get to patients more easily in an emergency and residents were not blocked in.

This is really unfortunate that he has passed away,
And my thoughts are with his family,
But how can this happen on that road

The cars owner is going to pay more for insurance next year as the family will claim on the insurance.
The car will need to be repaired possibly.
If a car hits another one from behind its the car that hits the car fault,
So, in the instance the cyclist must have been at fault,
Not paying enough attention,
Riding too close to the parked car,
Yet the car driver will be held responsible.

How to catch the bus. There’s also one about getting off it. If I was going to France or Gernany I guess there’d be no shame in reading up on how to use the RER and the U-Bahn. I guess this is a great way of removing obstacles to public transport use – one of the better things the internet has done – but isn’t using buses a life skill like brushing your teeth or tying your shoe laces??
