This week marks 3 years since the government did it's consultation on pavement parking. Still no news or even a formal reply.

Spotted this out on a site visit this morning, probably someone who moans about cyclists on pavements and thinks they are too wide for pedestrians:

Had to go to Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield, the parking beggared belief, cars double parked on the double yellow lines making it impossible to turn from one row of parking round to the next in anything bigger than a small hatchback, in fact the offenders had been hit by another vehicle, then parking on the footpaths making wheelchair/pushchair access impossible, the grassed area at the top of the car park was a muddy torn up mess due to being parked on after all the snow & rain we've had, selfish git's the lot of em

Selfish gits or lack of enough spaces?

Selfish gits. Lack of spaces 3 feet from the destination is no excuse for anti social, dangerous, or unlawful behaviour.

In our local hospital parking is scarce, and there are no car parks within walking distance. It can take up to an hour to find a space, and if you are going there for the first time you may not know that. Parking on the verge may be the only way to make your appointment.

Still not an excuse to potentially endanger others, cause criminal damage to grassed areas, etc.

@DRM - Pinderfields is abysmal for parking. SWMBO works sometimes in the hospital over the road and her car's been dented several times. She's asking for a new car but I really don't want to spend a large amount as it keeps getting damaged.
