About 5 or so years ago ( time flies ) another church took over the old church in Devonshire Road. Up to then there had been a right of way from DR to David's Rd. The Church simply blocked this up.
I and others did complain at the time , I believe at the early beginnings of se23.com. People agreed it had been a right of way but said it would not be insist the church opened it up again.
Also I agree the church goers all seem to come by car. Either they come great distances ( one wonders why not a local church ) or they are very lazy.
Mass parking on the pavement outside W H Smith and Sons is totally unacceptable. Not sure any wardens on Sundays so who is going to prosecute.
