| I've now taken 11 people to Ealing Town Hall, but only had to assist 2 inside. It was a pleasant surprise to see that it is really well organised inside and there was no more than a few having to queue outside. Biggest problem is people with lots of layers of clothing so it slows things down but these are elderly and frail people and cannot really be avoided. So being prepared as best as possible helps. Help though was on hand for this. The staff and volunteers were very well organised. All were really pleasant. All the recipients I took emerged quite happy. Getting there and outside is a different story. The road restrictions on Longfield Ave are insane and seriously hampers drop off and returns and ought to be suspended for this period of transporting those who have to be driven. The LTNs have added miles and a lot of time to each journey and are making it very tricky to get people to the locations on time. Several have been missed ( not by me - Yet) but it really stresses out those recipients. Maybe some of these Councillors and advocates of LTNs would like to do a few weeks of this and see what they have caused. How they sleep at night is quite beyond me. Pure spiteful division - that really affects people who don't even drive but depend on those who do. At least there were not wardens issuing tickets to carers and those transporting elderly residents. At least not when I went there. Others have not fared so well. |
