Hairdresser Clients Blocking Footpath, 4th April
This is a follow up to a previous report that has gone unresolved.
The clients of the hairdressers next to our office frequently block up the pavement, at times with a multitude of cars. The enclosed picture is a screenshot from our camera showing a woman having to cross into the road with her child in a buggy due to the parked car. Furthermore, our neighbour is disabled and often faces trouble simply going to the shops due to the cars on the pavement. The parked cars obstruct the view of the road to anyone pulling out of the spaces making it difficult to see oncoming traffic. Our address is 767B Upper Newtownards Road, BT16 2QY. The issue has been present for well over a year and this report is submitted on behalf of the people who live here whose safe passage has been obstructed.

Trees on Cherryvalley Park have branches sprouting at or close to the base of their trunks. This has made it very difficult to see traffic when reversing. It has become quite dangerous.
