Parking on a public footpath with double yellows
Reported via mobile in the Car parking category anonymously at 12:40, Wednesday 8 January 2025
Sent to Peterborough City Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 6950905.
It was one car all the time but now it’s four parked on the public footpath, not owned by moterworld , this is a PUBLIC FOOTPATH, we can’t walk on it?? Also they are starting to park on the bike path and where the parking restrictions says one hour , gradually doing the same as before, so the problem hasn’t been fixed? Possibly twenty or thirty times this issue has been raised? They have a car park so why ???
