It would seem that the RBG are condoning illegal activities in Plumpstead. I have reported this issue several times and still he continues to work on cars using the public highway and footpath on Riverdale Road, this is illegal. I have put the (Act) in all my messages to you that shows you that it’s illegal and punishable with fines, but you still condone this illegal behaviour.
Please help me to understand. If he is repairing cars and blocking one side of the road and footpath and I’m either disabled with either a wheelchair or visually impaired or i have a pram and children, how would you suggest I safely access the road I live on without endangering myself and others by walking in the road to avoid a person using the road as an extension of his business???
Again I’ll ask you to please come out to Riverdale/Saunders Road between the hours of 14:00-18:30 as he always seems to be out when I come home from work.
Please see below for the (Act) that was put in place to prevent this and protect the public.
