Brian Gleadless said: “They were parked cars? Apart from parking on the full width of the pavement, this is the worst parking I have seen for ages. Well done SYP for nicking them!”
Nasima Akther told how rubbish collectors couldn’t even access Wath Road last week due to ‘idiotic parking by selfish, careless people’, and she said surrounding streets were no better.
Michael Batey said the Lakes roads were ‘pretty bad for this sort of parking’ and Beki Daws asked officers to visit Furniss Avenue and Church Lane in Dore at school pick-up-drop-off time.
