Yet another wall in Merriman Road bites the dust. Members of the Street Society in a private capacity have been monitoring this process, and have raised the matter of lowered kerbs with the authorities. These members object to the width of lowered kerb outside some houses. The lowered section sometimes even encroaches on the neighbouring property's frontage. I find it difficult to visualise what Merriman Road will look like when there are few or none of the original walls left, just tarmac and parked cars. Residents have said that they are partly motivated by the desire to prevent visiting motorists taken all the parking space and leaving them nowhere to park. It is now too late for my favoured solution, a ban on parking on one side of the road, and residents' permits for spaces on the other side. Ah well!
