Dartford Borough Council Hates Motorbikes?
Well after a 10 year gap, I’m riding a bike again. I went and collected the ‘rapid response vehicle’ on Good Friday and I’ve got to say it’s been a boon. Already, the traffic jams that made my blood boil are beginning to fade into the past. Something had to be done - 4 and a half hours getting back from a half-hour job in Tunbridge Wells is not a way to run a successful business. All that time spent in traffic jams is wasted income.
Plus there’s the green issue, something we’re aware of and support to the extent that we can. More often than not a car isnt needed on a trip to a client. A motorbike is a much greener alternative, and causes next to no congestion.
So why the rant? One thing you notice straight away, is how the roads have got so much worse in the last 10 years. It’s almost a case of weaving between the potholes.
But Dartford….grrrrrrr…..Dartford Borough Council, why do you hate us so? On the way back from a client this morning, I though I’d drop into the bank and pay in some cheques. From memory, there were several solo motorcycle bays I thought I’d be able to park in convenient for the bank. Not so - they’ve all gone.
In fact, I couldn’t find a single motorcycle bay in Dartford town centre. I ended up using a car parking space and depriving a car driver from a [desperately short supply] space.Â
Why Dartford? Why?
