ON Saturday, January 28, I was walking in Stanfield Road (at the side of Tesco Express) and there was a parked car completely blocking the pavement.
I asked the driver to move forward so I could walk by with my young niece and nephew without having to walk in the busy road but he refused.
When I pointed to the small sign saying “No private cars, delivery vehicles only” he said that didn’t apply to him.
A female turned up and got in the car (with two small children inside the car); the car then reversed out into the road so pedestrians and children had to wait before we could walk on the pavement.
They should be ashamed of themselves but I think they thought we were the nuisance and not themselves.
How can you teach young children to walk safely on the pavements and to cross the road correctly when you have aggressive idiots parking just so they don’t have to walk too far to visit their local shop?
It’s a shame there are no traffic wardens or mobile parking cameras around when you need one.
I wish the local community police would go and observe this parking menace area because it is an accident waiting to happen and I even saw an elderly lady nearly knocked down as well.
