There`s no doubt that banning vehicles from parking on pavements is good for pedestrians, but it can be argued that it`s just shifted the problem onto our streets. I live near a school and my street has become quite tricky to negotiate as parents park on both sides at both ends of the school day. It`s not a major problem for me but some roads are on local bus routes and they haven`t been able to get through due to thoughtless parking.
It wouldn`t surprise me if there`s a U-turn on this ban as it`s arguably causing more problems than it`s solved.
Not your average Sunday League player.

No chance of a U-turn. Would mean admitting they are wrong. Not gonna happen until the current cabal are replaced.

The issue will always be stupid and ignorant people. Parking slightly on the pavement isn`t an issue. My neighbour`s friend used to park her entire Vauxhall Adam on the pavement. It was like she thought she was helping by doing this. These are the people that led to the ban.
What we have now is daft people parking opposite parked cars and making the road incredibly narrow to the point buses and emergency vehicles can`t get past. The worst people are the ones with driveways that take two cars in tandem who insist on parking one on the road. If it can be off the road, park off the road! I suspect this is the "the road outside my house is MY road" brigade.
