Cars blocking pavements in Long Eaton raises concerns that someone could get hurt

People in Long Eaton say that cars blocking the pavements is ‘dangerous’ and are worried others may be hurt. Reports of people parking on the pathway on Salisbury Street, Long Eaton, were put on a local Facebook group. The cars ‘blocked access’ for pedestrians which would leave them having to walk on the road.

Residents shared ‘how annoying’ and dangerous it is that cars are blocking the pedestrian path and say that ‘people just don’t care.’ Ben Hayes, 35, works in the ambulance service, told Nottinghamshire Live that the issue is a real problem.

Mr Hayes said: “It’s annoying - there’s similar things with cyclists riding on the pavement. Nothing seems to be done about it - it’s treated as if it's nothing. It’s very annoying - since my partner is pregnant we’ll have to wander around with a buggy. Traffic wardens don’t seem to care.”
