  • Bit fed up with the pub near mine using the pavement as a loading bay, often blocking the entire footpath. it’s also right next to a crossing on a busy road (of which there aren’t many) which seems even more irresponsible.

    I’ve contacted the manager a couple of times who have assured me it won’t happen again but they don’t seem that bothered as it still happens regularly.

    If I make a complaint to the council would that be a logical escalation? Or are they allowed to do this. There’s nothing really stopping them using the road as long as they stay clear of the crossing.

    With those tyre tracks evidencing a lengthy illegal drive on the footway, I'd probably go straight to the police. The pub isn't to blame, the GXO driver needs a call from the plod.

  • This is a police matter - obstruction. As far as I know the local authority parking enforcement can't do it. This photo is all you'd need to prove a couple of offence that they should deal with. Take it to a police station and ask to speak to an officer not the civvie desk person. Tell the officer your story show the evidence (time, day, date, place) and then ask for the officer's details. That's about all you can do.
    Malcom Wilson is the CEO of GXO, you could contact him and ask him (think of the children) How many pedestrians have to die before your employees start parking lawfully? etc.
