00:00Not only is this car park available, there is a car park which is at the back of the Florissons,
00:05which I probably would imagine is probably half the size of this car park.
00:09Not using it, no. They'd rather stop on double yellow lines and cause havoc.
00:14There has been accidents that have happened, I'm sure you were aware of them.
00:18And obviously there's going to be a lot more that are going to happen.
00:22I mean we've even had a car like a percentage sign halfway across the road,
00:26where somebody's just dropped it with the kids in, rushed into the shop.
00:29And left the kids outside in the car and with the car halfway across the road.
00:34I got bumped the other day with a car coming in or out of the car park, scuffed the back of my car.
00:39Obviously I was nowhere around so I didn't see it.
00:42But also another problem is when we have deliveries like this for the shop,
00:47the road gets almost totally blocked, as we're seeing at the moment.
00:52And also we do get cars mounting the pavement along here to try and let big vehicles through.
00:58Which is obviously equally dangerous for any pedestrians.
01:03Nothing that we've proposed can be put into effect.
01:07So we're very concerned about what will happen in the village in the future
01:12with the increased amount of traffic and the difficulties that people have passing and parking.
01:17It's a very old village.
01:19It's a very old village.
01:21The roads are very narrow.
01:23There's a lot of traffic.
01:24We've had a lot of new developments recently bringing more people to the village.
01:29Which is great for the village.
01:31What we're finding now is with the new amount of people, the shop's getting busier.
01:37The shop's getting more deliveries.
01:39We're finding more and more lorries are parking on the yellow lines.
01:43And people just can't pass.
01:46And people just can't pass.
