Allington residents and motorists clash as Kent County Council and Croudace argue over ‘no entry’ signs 40cm out of place
Last Friday, George Powell, of Howard Drive in Allington near Maidstone found another driver waiting for him when he left his house to take his wife to her job at Maidstone Grammar School.
The 73-year-old, who has lived there for 13 years, said: “He beckoned at me and when I wound the car window down, he leaned on the car in a threatening manner and began swearing at me.”
Two days earlier, Mr Powell had told the man that he shouldn’t be driving through the “busgate” which connects the new Hermitage Park estate with the older properties in Allington.
“He was very intimidating,” said the pensioner. “And he told me to mind my own f****** business.

Her journey of 0.5 miles is a 10 min walk, 3 min cycle or 4 min drive! (Colchester Institute to Rawstorn Rd).
And this is the way it will head as the number of cars grows – drivers, already seeing compliance as optional, will increasingly see doing things like this as necessity.

I do feel bad about the whole
I do feel bad about the whole LBS thing. The two LBSs in Salisbury don’t reliably sell the things I want to buy, so I never go to them. This makes me a small-scale stock-holder for many parts. I build my own bikes, do my own maintenance – I got a my iffy Shimano crankset checked in Salisbury and I needed a stuck seatpost sorted by a shop in Bournemouth, apart from that I haven’t purchased in years.
Outrage over Exeter parking
Outrage over Exeter parking charges as some refuse to visit
“It’s as if they want the city to do badly”
Forbes Pryde said: “Exeter finally dragging itself into the 21st century. Still probably 20 years behind other bigger cities though but a start at least. Unfortunately, some dinosaurs just don’t understand that most people are fed up with being surrounded by pollution from cars while out walking, exercising or having lunch out.”

Drivers and their iffy comparisons: Spain – free parking everywhere, apparently; it’s cheaper in Ottery St Mary and free in Witney, Oxon (West Oxfordshire DC doesn’t charge), free on Sundays in Taunton.
