When are we going to clear our streets of parked cars? Vehicle parked partly or totally on the
pavement present problems to those with limited vision, guide dogs, in wheelchairs, pushing buggies
and prams and to many other of our citizens. As the authority has now been given the power by
parliament to do this can you now please implement this right. You may state it is not illegal to park on
the pavement however my retort is (IT IS ILLEGAL TO DRIVE ON THE PAVEMENT AND TO PARK A
LORRY THERE) both of these are happening in our borough!!!.
Traffic congestion in the borough is also a problem. There appears to be several reasons for this, these
include street parking on through roads (including duel carriageways) roadside marked parking areas,
poorly designed road systems etc (more gyratory systems please to move traffic more quickly).
Should you need me to explain in more details please contact me, there are other areas in the borough
which are of concern.
