Harriet Wilson’s letter regarding cars parked upon the Dean Street pavements (BFP, Aug 1) raises an interesting point.

I took a photograph earlier in the year. It is of a notice which appeared fixed to a telegraph pole in Garnett Court, a residential cul-de sac off Pound Lane. One wonders why such a quiet location should be singled out for this treatment, while the busy B482 Dean Street should be exempt from such attention?

Particularly when the local police station is such a close neighbour, and when along the B482 Dean Street, there are serious concerns regarding safety?

On the wider issue, those of us with long memories will remember the ill-starred Marlow Parking and Transportation debacle which led to the Wycombe District Council adopting it as a strategy as long ago as September 1999.

Against that background, it seems that the Free Press will soon have to publish another article, similar to that which it run under the headline Parking Solution ‘at least another year away’ .

That warning was dated 9 August 2013. As yet another year has since passed by, we, the ordinary members of the public, are entitled to know what is going on.

Since as far as I am aware, we have not been consulted and I am, with some justification, suspicious of what the council, with its band of consultants is cooking up for us.

It is time for us to be told what is being hatched up behind closed doors.

We must have our say before the new parking rules are adopted and the awful becomes lawful. — J D Burnham, Marlow
