'Selfish' drivers block Liverpool city centre pavement with parked cars

Some "selfish" drivers have been accused of showing “blatant disregard” for pedestrians after pictures showed cars parked all the way across a city centre pavement.

Photos sent to the ECHO show at least four cars parked across part of the entire pavement along Covent Garden in Liverpool City centre. The photographs were taken yesterday evening, Friday, May 12, and show further vehicles parked in a row further up the road.

One local resident, who sent the photos to the ECHO, said motorists are “consistently blocking the pavement in our community” which has become a “great inconvenience and posing significant risks to the safety of pedestrians.” They mentioned that it is “disheartening to witness the blatant disregard shown by these motorists who choose to obstruct the pavement with their vehicles,” adding: “it is utterly unacceptable for motorists to encroach upon this designated area.”
