Backed Benches
The Council
has been very generous and has started to replace the wooded benches on the
river walkway with some very stylish metal benches. Very, nice of them
considering that they are positioned on London Yard land and not on river
walkway land. Well, we can keep quiet about that.
Parking Administration Handed Over
There should be no change to the way permits are issued. Residents will still apply for permits with either an application form collected from the Security Hut in Leerdam Drive or by this website. Congestion Charge? Forget it!
For those looking for a way of beating the Congestion Charge try out the Gibbs Aquada (photographed at London Yard by David Thompson). This amphibious car is capable of 100 m.p.h. on land and 30 m.p.h. on water. Park in your usual place; drive down the London Yard slipway and, within ten minutes, you should be in the City. A standard driving licence is all you need and the Aquada will need only a normal MoT after three years. Remember, however, that you drive on the right hand side on the river . Laminated parking permits will be available on request. www.aquada.co.uk |

previous open-topped bins, these have lids and can be locked when they
are full. Nothing odd about that. We are Wireless-less

The
issuing of parking permits has been taken over by Shama
Butt of the Managing Agents, Wood Management. For the last
seven years the permits have been issued by an unpaid volunteer
resident. In that time he issued over 5,000 permits and 3,000 letters.
The
Tritium wireless network, operated on London Yard by Carl
Schofield, will close down in the very near future.
The
objective of all dedicated Managing Agents should be to thoroughly analyze
all situations, anticipate all problems prior to their occurrence, have
answers for these problems, and move swiftly to solve these problems when
called upon.
