Driving from Main Street into Gorsey Brow, access is limited due to double parking. Hard enough usually with just 1 usual car parked there let alone 2. Had to reverse back out onto main street to get into this road. Not the first time. Parked cars are often there which is very dangerous for cars coming off the estate and trying to get on.

This can obstructed me while pushing my 5 month old son. As you can see there was no driver to be seen, I had no choice but to walk into the main road to get past the van. which resulted in me and my son nearly being wiped out by a car. I contacted the company, they did not even apologise and just stated it would not have been done on purpose. Regardless of that, me and my son was nearly killed today! I’m not looking for compensation but I would like something done about this. As I’m getting fed up of putting me and my son in danger because of lazy drivers
