To: Mayor of Havering Please help

Where will Funeral cars, wedding cars and people with a disability park now?

Wennington Road Rainham RM13 has noticed an oversight. The zebra crossing has been moved up then comes the white zig zag lines followed by double yellow lines. This has been brought to the three new local councillors of Rainham that this will cause a problem with funeral cars bringing family members loved ones to the church, Wedding cars parking and elderly/ disabled members being dropped off for their service.
Although there is another entrance on Upminster Road South this can not be used as an alternative for so many reasons
1. Funeral cars wait outside until the service is finIshed. This is a one way system which will cause traffic hold ups,
2. The gate is too small to bring through a casket
3. There is a much longer walk down the path for pallbearers to be carrying a casket
4. It’s much further for elderly or disabled people to walk
5. If people can’t get there they will not use one of the most beautiful churches in Rainham
So Mr Mayor as you can see residents of Rainham don’t want the worry of all this when they are going to say their final goodbye to a loved one
Or a bride on her wedding day
Or someone who can’t walk far
Solutions
1. finding a new place for the zebra crossing
2. Removing double yellow lines
3. Putting in a box for cars stated above

Why is this important?

Cars stopping here will get a ticket.
No one wants to see their loved ones being carried halfway down the road
No bride wants this worry on their wedding day
Members with breathing problems
Walking difficulty’s

This is an old church used by many, loved by many and for so many if they can’t get dropped off they will worry about attending
This entrance is a stone throw away from the entrance of this beautiful church.
We don’t believe the church was taken in consideration when this was being considered.
