Parks here ever day completely blocking the pavement. people with pushchairs or wheelchairs have to go on the road, if you're walking you have to use the grass.

Report it everyday to the Police and e-mail photos, they will get a ticket.

I'll think about that, I usually drive past so photos are difficult, can't be bothered parking to take a photo. Would it not be better to report to council?
Will try and go past on foot tomorrow and leave a note, if that doesn't work I'll report it,.
You'd think someone who has a driving licence would know that is not where to park, plenty of room on the road.

Main road, fully blocking pavement at 9.30am on a saturday morning, great fun with a pram, toddler and dog in tow! At least the parking wardens were on form.
To be fair, it does say parking on the sign next to where the BMW is.

Eh ? You have a photo - you just posted it ! Just email a copy to the police and state when you saw it parked.

Council will not be interested.

Do those of reduced mobility or eyesight, folk on mobility scooters and people pushing prams a favour.

I was walking that day, that was a reply to photos every day.
I thought the council would be where you'd report it, I'll take your word for it though.
As I said I'll put a note in the windscreen, if that doesn't work I'll report it.

As obstruction of the footpath it's a matter for the police not the council. Yellow line offences are for the council.

Rip off the license plates and wing mirrors and bin them. Let them explain to the police where they were when it happened?

B&Q Morfa park, Swansea.

Why park in one of the normal parking spaces when you can park in the trolley bay?

The lady driver wasn't too impressed with us taking the photo either. It might have been the other half shouting across the car park to me "Look where this muppet has parked" with the aforementioned driver walking a few metres behind her.

There were some special examples in this morning's Metro, including someone parked in a trolley shelter. The mind boggles as to how some people ever passed a driving test.

The driver presumably thought their car was just some sort of old trolley!!
Just collect some trollies and put them right next to the passenger door.

This is England in the 21st Century. There are no 'license plates' or 'wing mirrors'

Just sayin'

On the face of it this looks like bad parking, but actually it was very good. I just didn't want to make a new thread for good parking!

3 cars in a 2 car garage and there is a pillar separating the doors so had to angle the middle one in. We needed less than an inch between garage wall(s)and each car to make them fit.



Prizes for naming the make/models wink
