Parking

Lots of folk park in the resident’s parking space in order to nip to a shop on the Cowley Road, or pick up their Nando’s, or some other reason. It’s true we lost lots of spaces with the redevelopment of St Clement’s Street Car Park (thanks Oxford City Council), but there’s still quite a lot of parking behind Tesco, and how about not driving in guys?

Anyway, as residents we have to pay to park in the allocated spaces, and if there’s nowhere to park, we have to then risk parking on double or single yellow lines. Luckily the parking wardens are seldom and sporadic in their attention to the street!

Temple Dental this morning

The Temple Street Dental Practice in Temple Street, East Oxford, is insistent on leaving polythene refuge sacks out on the street over the entire weekend. They say this is because the arrangement with the refuge collector is that they collect early on Monday morning. Not only do we have to put up with their bags full of mixed waste (recyclable materials, non-recyclable, food waste, and medical waste) but often a crafty fox, or other animal, such as a drunken student rampages the sacks leaving rubbish all over the pavement and road.
