Tony,
It does seem that Mr K*** does have some very valid point and deserves an answer. I see vans, cars and motor bikes parked willy nilly everywhere. I know it is "shared space" but all a bit ridiculous!
The only shared space on the seafront is that short section of road, near the fountain, that has the balls on the sides. The cycle path is clearly marked and should only be for cycles!
I've been reporting badly parked vehicles near my place of residence for a couple of months, usually half on the road half on the footway. Dad was forced onto the road in his mobility cart/buggy and when he got home called the police using 101. We had a proper copper on the doorstep within the hour.
Unfortunately the proper copper didn't speak to Dad or me and was sent to the wrong place where there were no fud parkers.
