Car parked on double yellows., 13th December

Wed, 13 Dec 2023 16:09:31 +0000
52.586521 -1.105753

This car is parked not only on double yellow lines but immediately on the junction causing problems with traffic trying to get in and out of the street. It was there at 15:30 when I spotted it and still there at 16:00 when I left the car park. Absolutely unacceptable considering there are multiple car parks literally 20 meters away.

Selfish drivers are blocking pedestrian access to shops, 6th February

Mon, 06 Feb 2023 10:23:18 +0000
52.587177 -1.105125

Motorists wanting to avoid paying for parking have taken it upon themselves to park on the path, which is the pedestrian route from the car park to the shops. Often there are three cars here, which blocks pedestrian access, particularly a problem for disabled people and those with buggies etc. I witnessed a distressed disabled lady struggling to negotiate her way around, which is unacceptable. Bollards are required to maintain unimpeded pedestrian access.
