The nightmare Exeter street
The nightmare Exeter street plagued by daily car parking chaos
Residents are pleading for solutions to stop the daily “pandemonium” in their street
But the most recent issues stem from the introduction of residents parking permits in neighbouring Pennsylvania and Rosebarn Lane about five years ago. Residents here voted against being part of it. Nobody wanted to be told by the council where they could park or be charged for the privilege.

Fears raised over impact of project on Saunton Sands – one of the south west’s most popular beaches
Saunton Sands is one of the south west’s most popular beaches, claiming some of the country’s best surf, but residents and business owners spoke of the impact that closing 40 per cent of the beach car park for cabling work for a year or more would have on tourism, Braunton’s main industry.
Braunton relies on its bucket and spade holidays. If people can’t get in the car park, they can’t use the beach and we will lose our tourists.” She said “daily snarl ups” hampered the village and that situation would get worse if the application went ahead. Teachers and parents said narrow pavements, pushchairs and children and HGV vehicles did not mix and there was a real safety risk.
“You can barely get a car through at 10mph at 9am, 3pm and 4pm when everyone is milling around Caen Street and the supermarket,” said one teacher. Just imagine how horrendous it is going to be with all the extra traffic and pollution.”
Mr Woods said the cables could avoid the land and go directly where they needed to go, under the sea, to East Yelland.
“If you draw a straight line and boar underneath the sediment…forget the sand, go deeper and once you go below the seabed you are clear of everything. Speak to Elon Musk, he has a boring company that has just dug a tunnel under Las Vegas. Get a quote from him and put the cable under the sea directly where it needs to go. You will not need mitigation, we won’t even know it is going on.”
Chair of the parish council Cllr Marguerite Shapland said if the proposal did go ahead the council would not be powerless but would be “kicking up a stink” because “that is what we do” if things were not being done the way they should be done.

Southampton residents up in
Southampton residents up in arms over ‘chaotic’ roadworks
Genre classic – utterly deranged:
“The cars have taken over the whole road, it’s just a car park now. It’s not pleasant.
“It’s part of the campaign against cars and drivers.”
Kevin added: “The council really need to come down here and look at it when it’s busy. It’s difficult for me to get home after work.
“I pick my grandson up and it’s heaving round here and dangerous.
“Cars are blocking the road and the pavement, so you can imagine the parents having to walk their children into the road.”
