I've organised several surgeries and every time i've held one residents have come to complain about the dangerous spar junction.

At the last joint open surgery with the police in March residents were complaining about this issue.

Well today i witnessed it first hand and you had to see it to believe it?

I walked up to the spar today and walked across to Barry's the butchers and was sitting in his shop talking to four local residents about the outcome of yesterdays meeting and what happened was unreal.

There was a gold car parked outside the spar and the lady walked out and sat in her to drive off. She was putting her seat belt on and the 13meter spar artic pulled up. The driver got out and plugged his cables in to operate his tail lift and walked back to the back of his lorry. By the time he had walked to his tail gate the gold car had pulled away. But without a care in the world he carried on unloading his wagon

He then wheeled his stock inside leaving his tail gate down on the floor of the road obstructing the junction

On coming out the driver would have seen the empty space infront of his lorry but he just carried on oblivious to the fact and went back into his trailer to fetch another cage

The residents that were there stated that this driver does it on a regular basis, he pulls up and unloads where ever he stops. They reckoned the police have been informed on numerous occassions and this just highlights what they were telling us in the police surgery that they had been to?

You had to witness it to believe it, if the driver had waited 15 seconds he would have been able to have pulled forward and not caused any obstruction at all.
