Issues

The Committee was scheduled to consider three issues raised by members of the public.

Installation of pavement bollards at site (outside Lahore Restaurant and the GMB offices)

Mr Martin Selby, a resident of Hendon, submitted an issue about the pavement outside the Lahore Restaurant and the GMB offices. He requested that the Committee install bollards on the pavement to prevent illegal parking, which he said was causing traffic jams and noise.

I really cannot understand why installing pavement bollards at the site specified (outside Lahore Restaurant and the GMB offices) to prevent this is a matter of possible contention given that it is illegal to park on double yellow lines and on the pavement but is done with impunity day and night.
