Parking on footpath
Reported via mobile in the Car parking category anonymously at 16:11, Wednesday 14 May 2025
Sent to Peterborough City Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 7569612.
The owner of this vehicle has deliberately parked partially blocking the footpath despite there being 5 empty parking spaces available. This isn't the first time and I doubt it will be the last.

Thank you for your report.
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
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
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/
Kind Regards HC Customer Services
State changed to: No further action
