Why do they do it - I have no idea, apart from the kerbs are quite shallow.



Today the parking guy came down the street booking vehicles parked on the pavement - I thanked him for his efforts.
I had occasion to contact the local police to report a car totally on the pavement close to my house, requiring me to assist a wheelchair user onto the roadway to get past it.

When the young female PCSO arrived she told me...and I quote " if there's nobody trying to get past a pavement parked car...it's not an obstruction" ... REALLY ?

I was then treated to the admission that she had become a PCSO for "the buzz" and nothing else.

Still awaiting a reply from the Wiltshire PCC ...maybe one day ?
