Parking blocking the road
Reported in the Car parking category anonymously at 20:24, Fri 12 August 2016
Sent to North Somerset Council 1 minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 877509.
The same car keeps parking illegally on the corner of the road and making it dangerous for other vehicles to drive around it. The police have already given tickets to cars parked illegally and gave this car a warning not to park on the corner but they continue to park there everyday.

It's strange how you don't find it an offence to park there when it's yourself or your visitors. As you correctly mentioned, other cars were given tickets and we weren't because we were 'advised' that if there was somewhere else to park then do so, because it's not ideal to park on the corner but it was understood that parking is an issue and at times there is nowhere to park. It was acknowledged that there was no danger on that corner as the problem was with double parking and people parking on the pavement, hence they got tickets and we were just advised if other parking was available, use it, which we do. The car you are talking about isn't there every day, it seems like you have more of a problem with your neighbour than their parking or you would be addressing this issue to everyone that parks on that corner, and it isn't just one person. I suggest if you want a detailed description of what the police actually said, you come and ask us instead of trying to cause trouble anonymously. I'll look forward to your updates of every single car that parks on that corner that you wish to report as dangerous, as it hasn't only been us that parks there. And if we ever do, it's to unload or load the car and we move it as soon as we can, whereas other people park there because it's convenient.

I am not going to engage in an 'online war' with you. I have never personally parked there myself as I do not live close to the corner, I just drive around the corner and find it hard to do so and hard to see any incoming traffic when the car is parked there. The car I am talking about has seemed to be there a lot recently, hence the report. I am not one to cause trouble I would just like to live in a safe community. I understand other people park there too when there is no parking but none that I have seen continously park there other than this one car. I do not know the car owner personally and have never seen them therefore this is not some sort of personal vendetta. But this also seems to me that it is not parked there for loading as I don't see people in the car, just the car parked there a lot. I understand that it is a very busy area and there is not always available parking spaces. I see that the car is no longer there and therefore I see this matter as resolved. I will not reply after this as this is not a war I just wanted to feel safe driving in the area.
