There is a lack of respect in Ottery St Mary. Drivers park on a Taxi Rank free from prosecution by the lazy authorities.

 

 

There is a problem growing, for all to see in Mill Street

Tempers are arising, and there''s the pounding of the feet.

Your paper tells the story about a hackneyed carriage

the sort of thing you will recall, essential for a marriage.

Now ASBOs must be handed out for drivers with no feeling

who park at leisure on this spot reserved for taxi plying.


 

Their excuses are a plenty “Just a minute” “won''t be long”

“Be back in a mo, Why not wait and sing a song?”

They know that they are out of line; they just do it “Well, because.....”

''The others do it too and they ''re not prosecuted”

And that is where the problem lies, a problem now deep-rooted.


 

It won''t be long before you''ll see the arrival of a clamp

Then stand aside and view aghast your car''s up on a ramp

For then we''ll see solutions to a very selfish urge

To disregard the taxi rank and park without a purge.


 

It just takes one example to bring back common sense.

So those who have authority should come down from the fence

Anti social driving, for that is what it is, can vanish over night

The Taxi Rank''s for Taxis. Got it clear? Now Get IT RIGHT.
