I know this is probably not going to result in much, but just have to voice it, with the hope that someone can give advice. I also realise that this is an issue that a lot of people have in Observatory, but I have to state the below.
Most people in Oxford Road come down Trill, turn right and thus park with cars on the right hand-side of the road facing Bowden. As there is quite a few number of houses in Oxford between Trill & Bowden with limited parking in the street, people are parking on the left hand side of the road (railway line side) - on the pavement. This is clearly in violation, as there is on the left hand side of the street, no-stopping signs affixed to the lamp posts. Most of the residents and people in Oxford are parking on the right-hand side where parking is allowed. There have been numerous times when we've driven down Oxford and have had to squeeze between cars on both sides. Last night was the cherry on the cake, when a tow truck (which lives in Darien Lane I assume) parked on the corner of Oxford & Darien lane on the left-hand side of the road with a car that it has towed in. Both tow truck and car was parked on the pavement! This blocked about 3 entrances to houses on the left hand side of Oxford, and we literally had to spend 5 minutes trying to get through the narrow space left over. As it's clearly in violation of the law, is there anything that can be done about perpetrators that park on the left hand side of the road. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Observatory Neighbourhood watch" group.
