CRAZY

Maybe they should play the "Happy" song

[tony and lesley]

I love the music,it must be great  for kids to go to school singing Happy.
  As some comments about us mad brits living down there, well I do and bought my house many moons before any school was built . The original plan said it was council owned open space and would remain so. The fact is the school has probably kept the standards of the area up as in the council pressure washing foot ways, fancy roundabouts,house prices
 etc .
I must say as i drive round other areas some of them look like dumping grounds for rubbish.
They did extend the parking area at the school but as in the UK and everywhere else in the world people will always want to park at the front door.
It will interesting to see when the new school is finished opposite the chemist how the residents up there react.

Its a one way street so will probably be a nightmare.

From the bumph I got from the Administrators, there appears there might be a challenge over the legality as it seems the Phase 3 community rejected it outright.

That sounds like fun developing!

I've lived on two gated communities here while our home was being finished. Gran Vista and Montefaro, both, in my opinion, a complete nightmare. It provided zero extra security. People would just sit outside the gate for five minutes and drive in and out. The guard had no legal rights to do anything at all, and after a while just gave up and watched TV - and collected more community funds.

It did though provide 100% more hassle, from friends and relatives unable to get in, constant mechanical breakdowns (people getting locked in when trying to get to work was particularly amusing), ambulance sirens at the gate, parcels from Amazon and wherever lobbed on the top grass, people trudging up the road hoping taxis would wait outside, or waiting themselves at 5am scared to miss them, just a complete inconvenience. And really to stop what?

I won't go into the incredible security failings at Montefaro in case I give anyone ideas, but suffice to say, that gate and guard (before they laid him of without replacement, after building an expensive outbuilding for him) was like putting lipstick on a pig.

Is there an upside I am missing? perhaps the ability to put "gated community" on the sales poster helps? No idea.

I suppose in this instance it stops parents parking for ten minutes, so tally ho.

If you would like to park outside cafe Sezadu, just pull up in front of the barrier, toot your horn, and the cafe will press the buzzer to let you in

Secure!!

[Tony Gillam]

The barrier is about controlling the terrific flow through the community. It's hardly a security barrier.

Spot on Tony

Suppose the same traffic as always will go through if the cafe open the barrier

[John H]

You little rebel you.
Why don't we divert all the traffic past your house and send all the parents picking up the kids down your street?

It was a perfectly correct reason to gate an urbanisation and I am certainly not against that

Presumably the urb voted on it and made a democratic decision

Just all about the cafe
