THE Guide Dogs for the Blind Association is seeking to ban vehicles from parking on pavements.

I can only hope they’re as successful in this campaign as they were with the attacks on assistance dogs campaign last year.

Why should anyone, no matter who they are, and even more so a blind person with a guide dog or someone with a pushchair, be forced to walk into the road and endanger their lives because of an ignorant, selfish driver parking their vehicle on a pavement?

Last year, there was an article in the Wirral Globe stating the council and Merseyside Police were cracking down on vehicles parked on pavements – and for a few weeks warning tickets were issued to offending vehicles.

But then it all stopped, why?

It is an offence to obstruct a pavement with a vehicle.

This should be easy money if the council or police were able to issue spot fines.
