Cars parked out over the pavement hindering use of the pavement
Sent to Bristol City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7818286.
Cars are using their front ‘garden’ areas to park cars which do not fit. Some do not have dropped kerbs which suggest this is not agreed with the council. The cars all are protruding over the pavement which prevent access along the pavement for those with child buggies and those using walking aids such as rollators and mobility scooters. In order to be able to pass where the tree is on the pavement too, they have to go in to the road to be able to pass. This is a busy road and puts people at considerable risk.

A new enquiry has been raised for this issue.

This issue is currently under investigation. We'll provide updates on the outcome as soon as we can.

As advised by Bristol Council I contacted the police (as, apparently this is their call, not Bristol Council). They took all the details and agreed it was an offence and the households would be contacted. The households are still parking in the same inconsiderate and obstructive ways - but, to be fair, the police may not yet have got around to making contact. We waits and see. And, hopefully, I shall have another request for feedback in another month.

As of today date, nothing heard from police and cars still parked I. The same way, way out over the pavement and obstructing use.

Many months on, the very same cars are parked in the same obstructive way, out over the pavement, hindering pedestrians, buggies and mobility scooter users, forcing them out in to the road to pass.

Same cars in same positions, parked out over the pavement, seriously restricting the available pavement space and hindering the passage of those with mobility aids, mobility scooters and child buggies. Often, the only route is in to the road and traffic.

The same inconsiderate parking continues, often out over the pavement, which I think is illegal.
