Freedom of Information

One of our correspondents reports:

"I have been trying to get information out of Richmond Council now for about a month and a half about the current state of the decision over loading outside Tesco in St Margarets. I finally sent an email to the Council the other day, using the magic words 'Freedom of Information Act', and lo and behold, they've promised a response! Hurrah, and thank you Mr Blair.

I have asked for all emails, correspondence etc, so I'll forward these when they come in"

Two cars parked in the loading bay now. A bus tried to pull out and barely made it, blocking the road in the process. It needs to be double yellow lines along here, I think.

MF 52 DXE Another huge Tesco lorry parked mainly in the bus stop.

This morning the entire pavement blocked with 8 foot high pallets. Must have been 15 to 20

and a pavement full of pallets

Only 2 cars parked in the bus stop!

I just saw huge Tesco lorry on Crown Road! It's not big enough for cars to get through, let alone an articulated lorry

Sunday Morning 10am - The Barons/St Margarets Road Junction

Just when you thought it was safer...

Yesterday was another prize day - Three vans out front (one in the bus stop), and a large lorry parked at the very top of Broadway Avenue over several parking spaces and yellow lines - No idea how they managed to manoever it round the one way system to get it there!

Tesco's window cleaners. Parked in the middle of the bus stop in the middle of the rush hour! Blue Rover M11 HCS

just been in the station. Every window smashed. Glass everywhere. Loads of new graffiti round the back of the chapel as well. Why this all of a sudden?

Well I never. Our little campaign made the nationals! Guardian G2, part of the cover story.

The trolley park has moved...

Well, the good news is that the very ugly trolley park has been moved from the outside of the store, which is a victory for the SPASM campaign (It was one of the objections raised to the planning application)

The bad news is that it seems to have moved round the corner! (see photos above taken this morning)

tesco clear today (!) but not a moment today when black and white didn't have three cars parked illegally and blocking Amyand Park Road

Been past twice today. Both times at least one car in the bus stop
