This council is concerned about the dangers of pavement parking causing problems for sight-impaired residents, disabled residents, pram and pushchair users and mobility scooter users as well as the general public and wants to address the situation on the Island.

Therefore, this council asks that the leader write to the appropriate Minister in Government to request obstruction enforcement powers for our Parking Enforcement Team to be able to deal with the situation locally without having to rely just on the police who have enough to do already.
