There have been some rather intemperate voices on the topic of the new one-way system which are nothing short of molesting our mayor. There should be no room for the sort of abuse. And, let's be clear that this is not a town council scheme. If the town council chooses to back it that does not mean that it's the mayor who has put this in. In fact, it was the very mayor who encouraged us to ensure we all had our say. In spite of the obvious flaws in the way in which the consultation was worded, we did get an opportunity to voice our opinion beforehand.
The Vitara driver clearly misunderstood the information and he carried on up Market Street, to face on-coming vehicles. The car circled has parked entirely on the footway over the stippled dropped kerb
What was also interesting was a second motorist at the top of Market Street who was shouting to the first that the street was one way. That second motorist was returning to his car having parked entirely on the footway on Market Street by the HSBC, completely blocking it for pedestrians (it's circled in red). What was really interesting was that on his dashboard was a previously issued parking ticket for this second motorist. The guy clearly is a serial parking offender!
