I hope this is the correct option, but I could not find 'cars parking on the pavement' or 'blocking pedestrians' on your lists. This has been a problem for years and not been resolved. Yesterday I saw a woman push her child in a pushchair in the middle of the road as she could not get round the cars on the pavements or the parked cars. This is disgraceful and i have seen this many times and been reporting this for a few years to no avail. The worst section is Bellingdon Road from house numbers 110 to 140 where cars stick out from the front garden 'car parks'. The pavement also slopes for cars and not pedestrians. It is often impossible to walk on the pavement and many people walk on the road instead.
