A resident of Highfield Avenue, Driffield, writes by email . . .
I read with interest the front page news in the Driffield Post regarding my area of town.
Firstly, the majority of people who live around the green area in Highfield Avenue do not park on the green in front of various houses, themselves or the
ir visitors.
I can understand why there have been complaints. I have lived in my house opposite the green for around 25 years.
The green is becoming a problem and an eyesore because of parking.
The grass in parts has totally gone and when it rains the area becomes mud.
There are grates that have sunk and kerb stones broken.
I agree the bollards are not very attractive. I know how they feel, but like me they are serving a purpose.
I have not tested the stability of the bollards, but a car driving across/being parked on an area where children play is not the most safe and stable machine.
Regarding the comment that the bus cannot get through because of parking, my observations are the poor bus driver has had this problem for years.
So come on you parkers, if the bollards did go to pastures new would the green green grass be able to come home?
