Was down there to day and it doesn't look much different to 6 months ago. August looks a distant dream. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last experienced down Games way when they newly laid that, and shortly before it was redone. You must admit they are very, very pretty double yellow lines. Cracking job.

I thought the double yellow lines were very thin and a bit wavey. Maybe that's the new look. What would happen if you parked on one. Would you get booked. What would be the difference between parking on one there and one round the corner on selbourne where it must be ok to park on them as everybody does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be someone with enough experience and probably the same person who wrote the job description and person specification to suit the post as with any government position, filled before it is advertised. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality of the story is that he did his bit at the sea side to demonstrate to his subjects that he did not have divine power. Just saying.

monasqueen Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 From the MyProm Newsletter Central Promenade The picture shows the highway completed to binder level, 40mm surface layer to be laid once work is completed in the area. Beanie kerbs have been installed and the pavement prepared and ready for the granite paving to be laid. Access is maintained for pedestrians and some parking has now been returned on the landslide to assist patrons. Stopping and picking up your favourite chippy dinner is now so much easier. Please remember these businesses remain open and are here for your service and rely on your custom. Is a Beanie Kerb like A Beanie hat? Isn't parking on a landslide likely to be dangerous? Is that horse tram in the bottom picture battery powered? Look, no horse. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
