Hi, how about starting a conversation about my pet hate,"Pavement Parking".
Recently I have been quite busy lobbying Local Authorities, MP's, Councilors and the Police to do something about this Anti-Social behaviour that has become the norm.
I am a motorist and if the road isn't wide enough for me to park without obstructing it I park somewhere else. I consider other users, not like some who park on a bend on the pavement opposite another parked vehicle so that not only can the person coming up the road cannot see round the bend properly but the pedestrian has to walk out into the road completly blind.
It is possible to get some classic pictures but I don't know if the moderator of this site would allow?.
Any views?.

I believe pavement parking should be permissible with certain safeguards. There should be a minimum legal width remaining on the footpath to allow wheelchairs, wide buggies etc to pass and this could be marked with a dotted white line; in fact some councils in other parts of the country already do this. The situation has not been helped by the previous givernment guidlines of only 1.5 car parking spaces per dwelling, which has thankfully been revoked, but leaves a lasting legacy. I appreciate that pavements can be easily damaged by heavy vehicles and therefore a weight limit may need to be imposed as well. There is a simple answer in the interim, get the police / local authority to enforce the current regulations.
