The initial excuse was first the weight limit which no one knew what it was. Then the excuse was no vehicles between the black lines and to leave the centre part free. As this would have meant parking on the side strips I did ask the suit if he knew of a HVG that was only 3' 6" wide ? no comment.
Then we were told the centre strip had to be kept clear for fire engines in the event of a fire. Even though the centre strip was clear enough for all the empty vehicles to exit and new ones back up to unload this fell on deaf ears.
It had to be kept clear for fire engines.
Perhaps an email to the Berkshire Fire Brigade telling them there is a
5 ton limit on the Ascot ramp will be in order as most UK fire engines are plated at 17 tonnes ?Even their brewery lorries and wine lorries with their £125 bottles of bubbly are over 5 tonnes.
So how did this £450 million pound palace manage to get by H&S ?
Incidentally did anyone notice there was no disabled parking ? Perhaps they shoot the bastards like the dobbins.
