Pavement parking in West Street
Not wishing to open up another long running debate like the Bengeo rat run one but this has been really annoying me recently.
Now, I can't get too bothered about people who park slightly on a pavement leaving plenty of room for pedestrians (life's too short) but for a while in West Street there are a few cars that have been parking over the whole pavement. Right up to the wall of a house or a fence, leaving absolutely no room on the pavement. Usually they are some stupidly wide car (stupid if you live on a narrow street with no parking).
However, this morning, I was pleased to see a police officer taking pictures of a black sporty number that was parked across the entire pavement. I hope this continues and the message gets out.

Good! This is a fairly recent phenomenon and it's only a handful of cars that are persistent offenders.
Hopefully the police officer will wander down to Horns Mill Road and do tikcet the cars there. Particularly the ones that think it's OK to park on the pavement at a junction. eg Grey BMW 3 Series.

I hope the officer also saw the cars that park over the corner especially at the junction of Fanshawe and Byde St jutting out into the road. Why can't yellow lines be put around all the corners as they have further down the road

I think his may belong in another thread, otherwise this discussion about West Street will quickly become flooded with yet more comments about Byde Street (exhaustively discussed elsewhere).
