An Edinburgh councillor has condemned the scourge of pavement parking that is making travelling around the capital difficult for those with disabilities.
At around 9.00pm on Saturday July 9, wheelchair user Kayleigh O’Neill, a Green councillor for the Forth Ward, was travelling home after visiting family near Redhall Crescent. However, she claimed to have been placed in harm's way after a Royal Mail driver parked on the pavement she had to travel along.
She took to Twitter to express her displeasure and to call on Royal Mail to do more to inform their drivers on the impact this can have. She says that pavement parking can cause problems for those with disabilities as well as those using pushchairs and prams.
