I noticed this morning that the yellow lines by the "scooby doo"/old railway bridge, along Port Vale near Nelson Street, had been re-painted. Is this the prelude to a war on parking miscreants in Lower Bengeo?

I was talking about residents parking a few weeks ago. Now surely it must come soon. To be honest I am lucky and have a driveway, I just feel sorry for all the people who have to fight over the few spaces left after the commuters park at 5 or 6am and stay until 8pm!!. Now that all the parking has gone where will the locals park without getting a ticket! I hear the council genius's have got rid of the permits in the car parks. So now people have to pay daily. It will only make maters worse! [:(!][:(!][:(!]

This week i received a letter from the local police regarding people in Molewood road putting bins out to stop commuters parking there, as some commuters have filed complaints. The letter stated people using bins to "obstruct the hightway" could be prossecuted! What a fabulous waste of resource that would be!! I have emailed the council regarding this and they did kindly reply promptly basically saying it would take until 2008 for any residents parking to come into effect. I mentioned the one hour a day residence only parking restriction but they said approach our local councilor regarding this. Did anyone else recieved the letter or was it just Molewood residence? Thoughts please ladies and gentleman?

Whilst I have some sympathy for residents of Molewood Road, the fact is that it's a PUBLIC highway and no-one has any rights over the road outside their homes. To claim as such by obstructing the highway is indeed illegal. Many of the parking problems in the town are caused by the local authority, who then have the nerve to charge for residents parking schemes to address the very problems they themselves have created. Perhaps the money spent on these schemes would be better spent in providing adequate parking in the first place for shoppers, workers and commuters.

Email i got from East Herts.. Thank you for your email. There are several ways of addressing this problem. One might be to put in restrictions, such as a single yellow line that operates for perhaps one hour a day to deter commuters; however this also sterilises the parking for residents during this time and the same law must apply to both groups. A better way forward may be a resident permit parking scheme and the area around Hertford North has already been suggested as a suitable candidate. I wrote to all East Herts Councillors yesterday, asking them to come forward with their perceived priorities for such a scheme. The Council only has the resources to implement two a year and at present the programme is such that consultation on a scheme in Hertford North will not begin until at least this time next year, with possible implementation a year later (i.e. early-mid 2008). This may be frustrating, but because of the legal and democratic process, even with a fair wind, schemes take at least a year to work up and implement. It really is for Members to assist officers in the process of prioritising future schemes and this is where I think you can play a part! You say that your feelings on this matter are very strong, may I suggest that you make these felings known to your Ward Cllrs as soon as possible? (They can be traced on the East Herts website). If you can join with neighbours to do the same, this would carry even more weight. Unless Members (and through them officers) are advised of the problem, it is not always possible to know that there is one. I cannot promise what such actions might achieve; however I am sure it could do no harm. Regards Andrew Pulham Head of Parking Services

If the "Parking Attendents" did their jobs properly and randomly patrolled all of the yellow lines and car parks in East Herts, then there may be less of a problem. I am curious, has anybody seen a Parking Attendant in Bengeo, or are there too few parking offences for them to bother leaving the town centre?

I saw one, ages ago, ticketing a van that was parked entirely on the kerb in Balfour Street. Haven't seen one since. In theory they could ticket pretty much every single car in Lower Bengeo for parking on the pavement - I wouldn't be surprised if the council have requested they stay away due to the uproar it would cause.
Reply ID 19316
I didn't think that parking on the pavement is within their remit - unless there is a yellow line too. General obstruction is still a police matter.

I think the fact of the matter is that people would rather pay £50-£100 a year, so that they do have the privilage of parking outside their house rather than a commutor that is too tight to pay the £3 a day parking fee. Yes, I know there Public Highways blah blah blah................

I agree with Victor and would be happy to pay a small charge per year to gain residence parking for an hour a day. The council would love to put yellow lines to around lower bengeo, oohhh the revenue they could make from local residence!!

Yes but: Why so many? and why come to Hertford North - it is not the best service in the world. Or is it just becuase they can park their BMWs in Molewood Road for Free - taking up valuable parking spaces that are already insufficient for the residents' needs? Ultimately they must choose to live in outlying villages and then presumably should also accept the fact that parking at the station will cost them money.

[/quote] you may live within walking distance, but if you have an hours journey on the train into london, you may not want a half hour walk on top of that time, when you can drive it in 5 minutes. And lets be realistic, most people who use the train use it to commute to london and spend enough of their day travelling.

From what I can ascertain the buses in town don't help as their focus is the bus station at the centre of town instead of focussing on the train stations at rush hour (ie: 7am-ish trains). The Big Q is: what is more convenient: getting the bus, walking, cycling etc? Or driving and fighting for a parking space all the while with an eye on the clock. The weather, our lives (including family & children) and the time we manage to leave the house all come to bear on the answer; so does a negative perception of buses. Affordability of cars encourages only vital use of public transport and trains will always be more... 'acceptable' than busses (this is an observation, not an indication of how I chose to live). When I need the train, I walk the half hour to H.North or get a lift. No, I haven't yet taken the bus, though would do so if the route went through Bengeo Street and past the station in the early rush hour (7am). Most areas around both stations should install permit parking (but *sensibly* which includes not financially bullying the residents) to the trouble spots and deploy the hoardes of TW's to punish the interlopers - a few months of tickets would reduce the problem significantly. Unfortunately, people won't learn with the soft approach, the concept of Grandad Rights will defy change. People may also live further out but can't afford / won't pay the additional train charges so drive into Hertford for a 'swift' connection to London.

A few years ago the county paid for a service (H5 I think) from Bengeo to the station in peak hours (though via Old Cross, I don't think you could ever realistically run a bus route down Byde Street/Wellington Street/Nelson Street). I seem to recall it was little used ( I was the only passenger on the couple of occasions I used it), partly because it did not always connect well with trains and would get held up on Port Hill by all the traffic.

I regularly walk into town via Port Vale and 4 times out of 5 I see a traffic warden along there. Now they have yellow lined everywhere they know someone will have chanced it. It's not fair on us residents that there is not enough car parking space.
Reply ID 19788
I have only seen a traffic warden come into molewood once or twice but they stop by Nelson Street as thats where the yellow lines stop. I know ive suggested this before, but again while in north london yesterday i saw residence parking on a road near to the finchley road station for one hour a day. It was from 10am until 11am. This would stop communters in a lot of lower bengeo/molewood area and still allow the parents to drop off the kids at millmead school without fear of a warden slapping on a ticket to make a buck for the council!! How do you guys feel about a scheme like that?
Reply ID 19792
This has been suggested before and is probably the most sensible option. However, the council say it will take 2 years to implement and they would probably prefer a residents parking scheme so they can make a bit of dosh on the side.

I live in Upper Bengeo and can assure that parking is just as bad higher up the hill !!! When the vast majority of Bengeo was built cars were not thought of. People know how bad parking is yet choose to live in Bengeo and then complain. I do appreciate that the station does cause extra problems but it is not just a problem for lower bengeo. Residents living on Bengeo St park in my road all the time, they have road tax and there is nout you can do. If lower bengeo want a residents parking scheme then so do I !!

The problem with lower Bengeo is that the council yellow lined all along Port Vale in March & so all the residents who parked there now have to find somewhere else to park. I know a lot now try & park on Byde Street, which is just adding to the congestion.

Actually Victor - looking at Sele Farm and the Hall of Shame posted by JohnSmith I don't think putting yellow lines there would be effective anyway, because the times when the majority of people need to drive to the co-op (ie when Tescos is Shut) is exactly the time when the Parking Attendants are attending to Parking their own Butts in front of the telly at home.

Tulip - I am probably one of those people in Bengeo Street who park in your road! The problem is that if I don't park there, I park on the main road, causing an obstruction (as has been seen by the big American eyesore the past few weeks.) However, there are no yellow lines on Bengeo Street, so maybe I should just park there, to avoid bugging the likes of you?? Re the co-op - the answer is simple. The Bengeo Club next door has a car park that is hardly used. You may remember about a year ago the Bengeo Club tried to get a phone mast erected (which has been turned down for planning permission since) but they would have received a large sum for the priviledge. If the co-op instead leased a number of their car parking spaces and they put a gate through from the car park to the co-op, everybody's happy! Or is that too simple??

American Eyesore Bengeobabe, please see my post in White Lion forum. Plainly my misfortune at having lost my usual parking space has become an obsession for you and deeply personal, so much so that you failed to notice that the rusty transit parked a few yards back from my own "eyesore" was there for a month and for more days in total than my own vehicle. Presumably, you also fail to notice the frequency which two of our disabled residents are blocked by vehicles who park on the pavement in the same row. My vehicle was only ever there when no other place could be found in surrounding streets. There are some things which are worth campaining about and some which are just a waste of time and if pursued can look like malice. May I suggest you investigate the possibiity of getting involved with some charitable works to fill your days and perhaps adopt a friendlier and less judgemental attitude to the natives of Hertford.

Basically, Bengeo is a fairly wealthy area, with many families having 2 cars, it was mainly built in an era of few if any cars. If you decide to live there then parking is always going to be a factor; that is why houses with off street parking go for a premium. It is annoying not to be able to park outside ones home but it is no right. I feel sorry foreveryone involved but its the same in most Victorian areas throughout London and its immediate area

My point is just that. Pavement parking not an option in my case as two of my neighbours are electric wheelchair users and unable to offer the threats of violence that came from the road users. They are, likewise, unable to pass an obstruction in their path by simply waiting for the other carriageway to be clear. I'm not making a row over who did what, just appealing to all to understand that excess on such a non-world changing subject is entirely innappropriate. Remove the cars from one place, they will only pass somebody else's door. Just as the criteria for buying a house might be a garden for some, parking and traffic is also something we can choose at purchase. I have lived in Byde Street, Molewood Rd, West Street Cowbridge and now Bengeo St. I suppose with different criteria, I could have chosen a cul-de-sac, but i didn't. There are many viewpoints, but some seem to have got it into their heads that there are people out there deliberately making life difficult for them by the search for a parking space or a route to work. I don't believe that is so.

Thank you. New Road was indeed the only option and it was left there, whenever there was a space, despite being vandalised more than once whilst there and complaints from that road's residents too! During the six week period in question, my truck was on Bengeo Street, on average, 4 days out of 7, whilst a less unusual vehicle of similar size was there far more time in total. Strangely, nobody noticed that one. My point to all is that, though it is interesting to discuss local issues, it should not become a personal vendetta against one individual or blown out of proportion, particularly if you haven't bothered to think it through in the first place. I have lived in Hertford all my life and attempt to support and assist my nieghbours when they have problems and yet my nieghbour's response to this small problem of mine has been venom and insult.

shunt, parking on New Road should cause no problems. The gentleman who owns the two white vans packed with old furniture is a greater eyesore than your pick-up truck. They, and your vehicle, are parked properly on a predominantly parked-up side of the road. There is no recourse for abuse for parking there. Possibly your truck has become a recognisable target?

So much so that I have sold it, before anything else is poured over the paintwork, broken or smashed, or my family are abused anymore. My point was never the truck, but that a verbal vendetta can whip up a frenzy of hatred which can lead to serious consequences. It's over months ago and for my part, I apologise to those who were delayed in their jouneys over the six week period. Thanks guys, but this is off topic.
