“Councils across England are to be given more extensive powers to fine motorists who cause disruption by parking on the pavement.” This is a totally confusing cop out. Pavement parking is dangerous and obstructive and should be banned as it is in London and Scotland. #Parking #PavementParking

@livingstreets.bsky.social have found that Oxford is a #pavementparking hotspot. Not an accolade we ever wanted. What is Oxfordshire County Council and Oxford City Council going to do about it? @emilykerr36.bsky.social @andrewgant.bsky.social @oxfordpedestrians.bsky.social

Help end pavement parking in England.

Living Streets are running a campaign to end pavement parking in England and are asking for help. They're looking for people to contribute examples of particularly problematic pavement parking in their local area. The map will be open until 22nd Nov.

End pavement parking in England

We should all be able to walk on pavements without worrying about vehicles blocking our way.

Their suggestions don't include "make sure your new house has enough parking" or "don't buy a new car if you can't park it"

"✅ Here’s how you can help:
Leave at least 3 metres (10 feet) between parked cars on narrow roads.
Avoid parking opposite other vehicles on tight streets.
Never block driveways or junctions.
Don’t block pavements – it’s not just inconsiderate, it’s dangerous. People with pushchairs, wheelchairs, or mobility aids need clear paths to get around safely."

It's unusual for #Hampshire #Police to be interested in #PavementParking:-

https://www.hampshirealert.co.uk/Alerts/A/317067

"During recent patrols in Beggarwood, we’ve seen cars parked in ways that could block emergency vehicles or force pedestrians into the road. It might seem harmless, but it can seriously delay emergency services when every second counts.

🚑🚒🚓 Fire engines, ambulances, and police vehicles need space to get through. If they can’t, lives could be at risk."
