The owners of 16 Rothschild Place have placed items on the path to save a space and prevent other cars from parking on the pavement. The road has many properties all relying on roadside parking and this area of pavement is large enough to park as well as walk past. It does not affect their property and placing obstacles on the pavement is not only a hazard for pedestrians at night, but it is also selfishly saving a space. They park their car on the pavement, and save one further spot for their friends and family. This is unacceptable.
