Don’t need to avoid the area. Being over-exaggerated.
Had a little thought been given prior to planning approval for the blocks of flats, the footpath could have been widened at the developers cost and this would have given more visibility
I’ve seen quite an increase in accidents since the new build was completed on the corner, I think visibility there is a lot worse since.
So many crashes at that junction
That junction is dangerous – you can’t see round the new building on the corner. How that passed planning, being built so close to the pavement / road, boggles the mind. Planning department have no braincells between them. There’ll be more and more accidents here as there’s too much going on, too many people, and too little visibility.
Is that the same place where you can’t see out of the junction because of those new flats?
Old farts again and again
Youngsters actually
I wonder how many prangs & points you will have accumulated by the time you’re an old fart?
More idiots will be along soon, I bet another woman driver is involved driver another stupid little car….
Says the idiot with no grammar. Really mate?
Your sentence makes no sense. I suppose you have a big car. Big Car to compensate for little Pe*is.
Now now don’t be bitchey and get your nickers in a twist….
Well said
You odd ball still a loner with your dog
Wuff wuff wuff…
You grandkids said get a life and your kid said you got to go home and never go out
Ok you sexist pig think your funny grow up saddo
Lonely old sad man I think it’s time to rest in peace
Ho, is that a death threat???? Nasty
Go easy on Jo, he definitely didn’t do well at school. Get back to cleaning the Southern Vectis windows.
He just a sad lonely old man who plays with dogs saddo
Can anyone explain why planning permission was given for the building on the corner?. Was always a problem when cycle/ charity shop to be able to see traffic coming from Hunnyhill, it should of been set back like the rest of building ,where it didn’t cause an issue (old RSPCA) has been set back. Planners are quick to refuse on grounds of visibility to individuals !.. I know it’s down to poor driving,but we have had experienced drivers (Police, Driving instructor,Taxi and lorry driver have accident in same spot, wonder how many minor ones( just exchanged insurance) what when someone dies pedestrian/motorcycle/cycle. Sorry but common sense really, especially when demolished old and opportunity arose to set back a foot or two.
