Edinburgh resident and local politician condemn businesses for pavement parking

A concerned Edinburgh pedestrian has hit out at two businesses that parked their vehicles over a pavement and blocked access for residents.

Both Impact Signs and Scottish Power had vehicles pictured blocking the public pathway on Leith Walk. Pavement parking has become a hot topic in the capital with many activists and politicians calling for greater enforcement.
