I have difficulty crossing roads where parked cars have blocked the dropped kerbs and sometimes have to travel many yards to cross the road in safety.

It is getting beyond a joke where cars are being allowed to park, corners, double yellows, bus stops etc and the police turn a blind eye

i see where you are coming from as my gran is in a wheelchair and she has to go down her road just to get to a dropped down curb and even then it can some times be a way down the road before she can get to the place she has to get to but anyway i hope more people sign

It's my understanding that it is illegal in Scotland to park on the pavement.

I have a new born baby and the trouble we find is cars parking on the pavement and you cannot get past so you need to go onto the road to get past
