Cars blocking pavement

Reported via mobile in the Car parking category anonymously at 14:43, Sunday 6 October 2024

Sent to Peterborough City Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 6557611.

Cars that are visiting are constantly parking on the pavement fully blocking anyone getting by. I had to go on the road with my push chair as there was no gap to get by. It’s been like this for weeks now, they visit at least 3 times a week, stay for 4-5 hours. They always park on the bend from number 51 - number 49, normally 4 cars fully blocking pavement

  • Thank you for your report.

    For the enforcement officers to be able to issue a Penalty Charge Notice there must be a traffic regulation order in place which creates a parking restriction for example double yellow lines. This allows the officers to issue a penalty charge notice to vehicles in contravention to that restriction.

    If there is an obstruction of the road or pavement or blocking drive or any dangerous parking, this is the responsibility of the police to investigate and enforce.

    They can be contacted on 101 or you can complete their ASB form online to report the obstruction - https://www.cambs.police.uk/ ro/ report/ asb/ asb/ report-antisocial-behaviour/

    It is not an offence to park a motor vehicle, with the exemption of a HGV, on a grass verge, pavement or road, unless it is causing an obstruction or there is a Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) in place prohibiting it, any illegal parking (example double yellow lines) can be reported directly to the parking enforcement team on: parking.enforcement@peterborough.gov.uk or call 01733 452241 Monday to Friday 09:00am to 17:00pm

    Alternatively, you could request in writing for double yellow lines to be painted and see if this is something that Peterborough City Council can assist with. You can email them directly on: trafficregulation@peterborough.gov.uk

    Request a verge and pavement parking restriction in your area In areas where there is currently no restriction on parking on the verges or pavement residents can request one for the area, they live by contacting the council. Residents may not request one for streets in which they do not live. Email: vergeparking@peterborough.gov.uk

    More information can be found on PCC website https://www.peterborough.gov.uk/ residents/ parking/ parking-on-grass-verges-or-pavements

    Kind Regards HC Customer Services
