Just found this doing a Google search. In reply to Punch Taverns, who posted through Admin. I can 100% confirm there was at least an informal agreement with the landladies for parents to park there. We held our PTA meetings int he pub and they used to come discuss the parking arrangements and had even agreed that they would put up 'customer only' signs on the spaces immediately to the front of the pub, and parents could park in the rest. There was also a discussion about painting the lines around those designated spaces in a red colour. So yes, there was at least some formal parking arrangement with Shelly and Claire.
I found Punch Taverns planning application particularly wreckless when they suggested no road improvements were needed to the junction. I find that statement completely moronic, considering that section of the A4 is a major through route used by commuters who will inevitably enter via the Brummel Road/A4 junction, and also attempt to exit by these means, causing delays for users leaving the car park and thus using the rest of Brummel Rd as a rat run.
And let's not forget the impact of noise and pollution on the residents immediately bordering the car park. Speen is sufficiently serviced by existing amenities. Punch Taverns are trying to make a quick buck. But Punch do not yet own the land.
