IMPORTANT PLEASE READ This website and forum has been living on borrowed web server time for years. At the end of this month silsden.net in it's present form will cease to exist, BUT there is a new silsden.net in the making, and a new forum, and lots of exciting new things coming to this space.

A car boot Football and Traffic lights on Keighley Road .... and such a nice day.... sigh!!!!! |
|

Hey Peter someone had to have a bl**dy moan and you was at the top of my list chill out and give them all a chance how long were you stuck in traffic ? 2 hours |
|
| Peter |
Now was I complaining about all the cars parked on the pavement? Nearly being wiped out by cars trying to get in and out of Jackson's field. and queuing for the traffic lights to get into Silsden... looking back at my post, was I complaining... not me  ... and while I'm at it, the moaning bit that is, why are there traffic lights on Keighley Road anyway? They could have been cleared away for the weekend because the trench has been filled in and there is no reason for the traffic lights to be there. BTW don't follow the Bradley Road diversions, someone has put the diversion sign for New Lane (leading to Hole Lane) into the bank, so it can't be seen when you are going along Skipton Road towards Farnhill. There must be a few visitors going to the top of Bradley Road via Skipton |

Not sure why footy gets a mention when its played down there long before traffic lights and car boots |

quoteNot sure why footy gets a mention when its played down there long before traffic lights and car boots It was just one of the several hazards along Keighley Road this morning. I reserve special praise for the idiots that parked on the beck side pavement and left just enough room for an able bodied pedestrian to walk on the pavement. |

The best example of lazy parking is on Googles updated streetview  |

The van is parked on double yellow lines, but not on the pavement. Perhaps the driver had a disabled badge! Why do members of Silsden Sports Club defend bad parking so enthusiastically? Perhaps it is a guilty conscience? On my first post on this thread I inferred travelling on Keighley Road on Sunday morning was not easy because of the car parking on the road because of the events and the traffic lights. This was immediately construed as a criticism of the football members great skills at parking on the pavement I didn't mention that on my first post.I didn't point out the bad parking on my second post either. However, the footy members guilty conscience must have kicked in (and it never ceases to amazes me how bad parking can be defended) and keen to rise to the challenge I had to point out the misdemeanors of the football supporters parking habits.  As an aside I hope the cars parked just over the Aire bridge got booked, too lazy to go into Jackson's field for the car boot? |

Im sure you can offer proof of post's of members of the football club defending bad parking enthusiastically.The football club have met with police,Councils,Councillors,other club members and visitors to curb something which happens outside its legal duty.Hardly an organisation that defends bad parking. |

Could the football club come to some arrangement with the owners of Jackson's field and use that as a parking area when there is a tournament on, may be a small charge could be asked from drivers. |

I have given up taking pictures of badly parked cars along Keighley road - it's a lost cause. I have also given up complaining about football supporters parking on the pavement, unless asked, which I was asked to in the posts above. |

I travel to Blackburn daily. Silsden's bad parker's pale in comparison  |
|
| gazzer |
I drive through Bradford many times and see loads of cars on the pavement.Some are actually driving on the pavements which is probably safer than being with idiot drivers on the road. |
|

The bad parking could be due to the fact that there are not as many Parking Enforcement Officers as there used to be. I have not seen one in Silsden for a long time and the Park Ranger who is on a motorbike stops and checks the car park twice a day. |

Exactly, when people know they won't be caught they do as they like, it's me me me. |

Must be about because 235 tickets issued to drivers in Wesley Place car Park alone in the last 2 years(bringing in £4,953, none of which spent in Silsden) |
|
| Peter |
I think they can only issue tickets for non payment in the car park and perhaps along Kirkgate, but they will ignore any parking on the pavement or over dropped curbs. There doesn't seem to be anyway of contacting them and they don't seem to work on a Saturday or Sunday. Any parking fines along Keighley Road are issued by the police, if vehicles are causing an obstruction. Any other parking offence is now a civil matter. |

Whilst walking into Silsden from Steeton last week I had a thought, why don't Bradford extend the no stopping, all the way up to Belton Road? It presently ends at the river bridge, when coming off the A.V.T. That would solve all the parking problems along this stretch of road. |

And while the machine is there, it could carry on up to Kirkgate and put some lines there, now that would be progress...! |

That would stop those who park legally.You cant blanket ban just because lazy drivers park opposite cars that are already parked.It needs double yellow lines from Belton Road to the river bridge on one side only. |

We all know what council wardens are like A RESIDENT has criticised a warden’s alleged reluctance to give a ticket to an illegally-parked Bradford Council vehicle. An employee was handed a ticket after parking his Bradford Council-branded white Nissan van on double yellow lines in Kirkgate, in the city centre. But Hussain Khan, 32, who saw the incident, said the council warden had been reluctant to give the driver the ticket and took 20 minutes to do so. |
