There was no resident consultation on the parklet installation on Montserrat, it just turned up out of the blue.Whilst it does provide civic space at certain times of day, other times it is exclusively used by deliveroo bikers. There are far too many of them. They daily spill on to residents parking areas, and standing around, blocking the pathway adjacent to Metro Bank. In large numbers, and crash helmets, they can be intimidating to lone women. The Copenhagen crossing is used as a deliveroo motorbike park, again at peak times. Felsham Road parklet exclusively used by deliveroo bikers all day and night and is not civic space.Too many motorbikes on Weiss Rd. Full stop. Positively Putney put them there, but they are not monitored by them, or police, and wardens seem helpless.The Montserrat Road parklet is supposed to be relocated since the decision was made last November, but is still there.The anti social behaviour associated with this parklet is well documented, but appears ignored by both PP and Conservative Thamesfield counsellors, leaving residents in limbo.PP and LBW seem to lurch from one crazy plan to another, leaving residents furious, anxious, and very p*ssed off with the whole situation. A plan was mooted to move the Montserrat Road parklet to Lacy Road, outside the old Waitrose entrance there that is now blocked off, and to be a complement to Gail's and Guillano. This seems to me a good idea for outdoor dining.which PP seem fixated on. My view is all deliveroo motorbikes might as well be allocated Felsham Copenhagen crossing and parklet as official, provide bikers with portaloos and regulate their numbers.Regarding Positively Putney, and LBW, they seem to be just making things up as they go along.. If residents of Werter want a through road, it should be up to them. No doubt they too, will have a lot of motorbikes there, whether it is blocked off, or not.
