I would like to make comments about pavement parking following your article in Tuesday’s Argus.

Personally, the sooner this issue is brought under control the better. Whereas areas described in your article are obviously an issue for pedestrians and, although I do to some degree sympathise with drivers, we all need to park somewhere, but surely not on pavements or grass verges.

One area I would like to bring to everybody’s attention is The Brow, Woodingdean.

Drivers in this area have now decided that it is completely safe and okay to park their cars completely on the grass verges and also over the pavement. There are other cars parked in front of their garages across the pavement and on to vehicle crossovers.

How a person with a pram or disabled person or even mobility scooters get past I really do not know, unless you manoeuvre into the road.

I have also driven to other areas of the city, and even seen cars parked up on green triangular traffic islands, obviously big enough for a car to be sitting fully on it.

With cars also parked so close together on different sides of the road diagonally, but with barely sufficient room for a car to pass between, emergency services would never get through.

Where are the police/traffic wardens to deal with these offenders? Never to be seen.

It’s obvious really – car is king. Nobody cares about the consequence of their actions, as long as they don’t have to walk anywhere.

But for sure they will be the first to complain if it’s their child, grandchild or relative who gets knocked down and injured or even killed as they manoeuvre around dangerously, and possibly illegally, parked cars.

May I suggest you send a photographer to take some pictures, evenings and weekends are your best times.
