[align=center]White van vs. Kid’s [/align]

Hi was wondering if someone could help me with this.....i work with children and they like nothing better on a good day to go down to the square get a ice cream and run round an round chasing the pigeons [bad little tykes] anyway we were down this week sitting outside a cafe in the square when they asked could they play just in front of me every thing going well till suddenly a white van with resource printed on the side appeared driving up what i thought was first and foremost a pedestrian precinct F**k sake that van is not going to stop. I was horrified if I hadn’t shouted and ran over to stop the van the child would have been seriously hurt or more, the driver gave me an awful look as if it was my own fault. The van continued on to outside the Bank of Ireland then stopped, still watching the driver talking to him self about what he had just done you could see clearly the swearing he was doing. Surely there is a back entrance for deliveries to the Bank (or what is it just take the easy way out) although other shops,buisneses also do the same thing. Should this continue to happen in the Conway Square even the local police drive round unnecessarily when they can park at the entrance and walk?

Is their a time for deliveries i.e. 8 am to 9am every day does anyone know. ????

Are they other concerned parents who like myself is lulled into a false sense of security thinking that the square is a safe environment for children all reply’s ! Comments welcome …………Thanks

Wow what a first post!, i think to they do have a sign up that states what times deliveries can or cannot be allowed but i can't remember which.

will check it out the next time I'm down the town

Thanks Basil, just makes my blood boil...........

Basil is an herb!!!!!!!!!!:thumb Basel is my name


i think your new smilie should be

WAS DO WHAT I DO. IF YOU SEE A CAR COMING HIT IT A TAP ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND GIVE THE DRIVER A LOOK LIKE YOU WILL SLIT HIS THROAT IF HE DOESN'T STOP AND LET ME AND THE WEE MAN WALK BY. IT'S WORKED FOR ME EVERY TIME SO FAR ANYHOW. WAY I SEE IT I HAVE THE RIGHT NOT HIM. IF IT WAS THE ROAD HE HAS THE RIGHT. UNLESS IT'S AT A GREEN MAN AND HE'S OUT.

Take your caps lock off its hurting my eyes lol

NAH

Interesting Ronski, on the ball as usual, so the only vehicles allowed are delivery and only between 9am and 11am so if its not a van or car dropping off stuff then they should not be there! and that includes the Police

Well I know what to do next time I'm down the street and i car or van pulls up behind me when walking round the square and that is to walk real slllllllooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww i mean really slow like! till they get annoy and beep the horn then I can go up tap the window. when the driver rolls down the window I can let them know that they should not be there after 11am. Also maybe email Ards council about this subject let them know and what are they doing about it. Well they have a big f--k off camera up there do they not!!!!

Passionate as always, an couple of emails to ards council might just be the TICKET that these people need to be given

nice one

SWEET
