Ismail Mohammad pushes a buggy down the centre of a narrow road in east Bristol. His two sons stay close as vehicles could come from either direction at any moment. “There are cars [parked] on the pavement. We have to go on the road,” says Mohammad as he hurries to the boys’ primary school in Easton. “It’s dangerous because cars sometimes come fast through here.”
What in tarnation ? What a sorry state of affairs. Good luck to the council !
Bryher has little sympathy for drivers who claim they must park on pavements on narrow roads. “You need to park somewhere else instead … there are enough [spaces] for everyone to park in the city,” he says. “It’s just that you might have to park further away and you might have to consider whether you need a car.
Indeed
The statements about how much people just have to have their cars parked everywhere because there’s not enough space for their cars so they need to take over everything for the cars is scary. Didn’t the city exist before cars were invented? Maybe there’s ways to live without the car at all times?
