Monika D'Agate expressed her outrage by stating, "All of my neighbours are outraged that this has happened and that the council has gone against the people's wishes. We think we don't live in a democracy—we live in a dictatorship." This statement reflects the strong sentiments of the community who feel deprived of their voice in local governance.
The incident sparked community concern as D'Agate mentioned, "Many residents, including those with limited mobility, may face difficulty accessing their homes with restricted parking spaces." This highlights the substantial impact the council's actions have on vulnerable residents.
Bexley Council responded to the incident, stating, "any use of force by contractors is unacceptable" and emphasized that they are addressing the matter directly with the contractor involved to ensure appropriate standards of behaviour are upheld.
D'Agate raised further alarm stating, "I was worried that neighbours would now find it harder to find a space outside their own homes," underlining the practical consequences of the council's controversial parking changes.
