To many cars parking on the pavement and on the bend making it unsafe for other vehicles and pedestrians users There are inherent dangers for all pedestrians; being forced onto the carriageway and into the flow of traffic. This is particularly difficult for people with sight or mobility impairments, and those with prams or buggies. This can also be a problem for obstructing an ambulance, fire engine getting passed due to how the cars are parked on the bend this has been a problem for a long time now and I believe that something needs to be done like no parking line on both sides of the bend I have seen cars coming around the bend then have to break hard and come to a stop because on coming vehicles on the other side of the road due to how the cars are parked I have also seen pedestrians with prams and wheelchair's waking on the road to get passed the the cars
