Appendix
1. Further to my submission to the enquiry,
I would like to raise the subject of Driver Stress as a major
concern.
2. The Essex Flour & Grain Company has
supplied Foodstuff to London since 1853, and attached 1910 extract
from price list details our area of operations.
3. We have six and sometimes seven integral
vans on the road every day with an average of 20 deliveries into
an area where little if any provision has been made for commercial
deliveries which causes serious Driver Stress.
4. Our deliveries are usually from 25 kilos
to 700 kilos and we have already detailed the problems of St Giles
High Street in previous submissions but attach letter to London
Parking Director, dated 1995.
5. Every Driver could easily receive a ticket
every other delivery and this was confirmed by Mr G John FTA Traffic
Officer and our DTI Report attached to original submission where
DTI Consultant concluded "subject to Mafioso Style Protection
Racket", a report ignored by the DTI.
6. Local Authorities control the uses of
properties but ignore this information when allocating Unloading
Bays.
7. If Drivers had to pay for Parking Penalties
the Company would cease Trading being without Drivers.
