Carns constantly parked on pavement

I don't know if the council can help with this at all. I certainly hope so as we are getting nowhere with the police.

Cars constantly park on the pavement in TY Gwyn Drive. All houses have a driveway yet very few are used for parking cars.

I have lost count the number of times we have had to go out into the road along with a pushchair as there is no room on the pavement to go past the cars parked there.

Also cars drip oil (well some do anyway) which makes the pavements very slippery.

I'm aware of neighbours speaking to the police as have I but nothing ever gets done.

Why are we paying a proportion of our council tax towards policing if we never see the police?

Yesterday for example 2 police vans along with an unmarked police car came into Ty Gwyn Drive and numerous officers spent a few hours in a house here. Great we though, maybe something will be done about the cars on the pavement. Not a thing. I don't know how many police officers turned a blind eye to it!

Offensive? Unsuitable? Tell us

I have to drive a bus there, on occasion, and it is often almost impassable
