Vans frequently park to load and unload on the pavement, fully blocking access for pedestrians. There is never any enforcement. People in wheelchairs and with prams have to go into the duel carriageway, where the vans can stop to load and unload.

Install bollards to keep the footway clear, they are for people, not parked vehicles!
