Topic : Parking on Silsden park! |
|
| miss jones |
I have just been to Silsden Park and I am apalled at the inconsiderate parking from what i assume to be bowlers!They are parked on the park,driving on there as though children have no right to be playing there,they have parked over junctions and corners on Banklands and also on the path up Fletcher avenue where a mother struggled to pass with her buggy.Do the bowling fraternity have more rights than other park users?it certainly looks that way from here.  |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) I used to live down there, it drove me so mad i had to move. I once asked a miserable old man who seemed to be down there a lot if they could have a word with the away teams to be more considerate when parking, he was really quite nasty. As for the footballers and rugby players the less said the better. wait till the nice nights when the chavs can't be bothered to walk to hill they park there cars up there. |

A nice jump, wrinklies parking causing problems to youths. Can't we ever leave the kids alone? |

Alan, you are being unfair to Shazza, if you live on Fletcher Avenue then Saturdays can be a pain with the rugby and football supporter using the park (grass) side of the road to park. During the winter months the grass at the side of Fletcher Avenue is usually churned up by people parking for rugby and football matches. Today there was a very noisy bowling match and cars parked on the grass, but not the usual just off the road parking, this was organised 90deg to the road parking! It proves the ground isn't too wet, if you parked like this in the rugby season you would need a tractor tow to get back onto Fletcher Avenue. If you walk your dog in the park, especially during the lighter evening months, you would know occassionally there are tyre tracks going from Fletcher Avenue to the rugby pitch. Perhaps a few questions to the residents of Fletcher Avenue and Banklands Lane would be in order. |

Wasn't referring to your post shazza! The first post was miss jones! |

| miss jones |
I do live near the park and although kids can be a right pain occasionaly(noise,broken bottles,ect)the ones that cause all residents on Fletcher av,Oak View most problems are the BOWLERS!!!!They are the most inconsiderate,loud mouthed,bad mannered,selfish people I have had the misfortune to come across.They do not care how much agrivation they cause with their parking just so long as they can get as near as dam it to the green.Has any of them thought of using the car park in town now the bridge is back??? |

| ginjo |
they won't be able to walk that far!! in my experience a lot of older people are very selfish and ignorant I have encountered this many times, they are a lot worse than the younger generation, they push in in queues and let doors go in your face and the number of times I have nearly been knocked down on the crossings by a senior citizen well don't get me started! |

Looks like you were just after an argument Alan, Miss Jones didn't mention kids |

Perhaps we should park our cars on the rugby pitch to give you all summit to talk about. Didn't know parking on the grass was a problem to the youths. |

Ah jojo, am entitled to call the bowlers wrinklies, 'cos I'm a wrinkly myself, as my kids always tell me! I just get totally fed up of the kids in this town always being criticised, when we are fortunate with the vast majority and it's only a tiny minority who cause any perceived problems! |

alan are you taking up bowls now your classed as a wrinkley |
|
| alan |
Thinking about it, used to play when i was a youff. Do you think they'd pick on me if I parked my 4x4 on the park? |
|
| grandad |
Miss Jones, and the rest of you who are complaining on here about vehicles parked on the park grass, I suggest instead of moaning about it here, why don’t you ring Bradford Council, tell them. Why? Because it is against their bylaws to take an unauthorised vehicle into a park, and before anybody as a go at the police for not enforcing this bylaw, remember it is for the council to do so; not the police. |
|
| miss jones |
Yes,been on to Bradford,e-mailed them this morning and havnt heard back yet,will let you all know if I do hear back from them.I wouldnt have dreamed of calling the police to sort out this problem. |

right if the old gits are parked on the grass on the park then they can not moan when a ball hits there car? a golf ball or a cricket ball comes to mind might take my driver and whack a few balls at there cars no one can say anything because I will say they should not be there sounds like fun one of them may even have a heart attack as they rant and rave at me  |
|
| Shazza |
I think there is sign on park saying that you can't play golf  sorry |
|
| skippy |
alan i hope they dont moan on here when them big trucks park up on the park this weekend  50 ton plus some of them babies so your 4x4 when you start bowling is nought better on the grass than blocking the roads n paths if any damage is done its simple bill the bowling club to put it right the football club sorted out their parking eventually down kly rd so it can be done if the clubs want |

| bogtoss |
please stop parking on the park grass there is no where for the dogs to have a s_ _t |
