🚨 ABANDONED VEHICLE FORCES PEDESTRIANS INTO THE ROAD! 🚗⚠️
👮♂️ Whilst out on foot patrol, I was made aware of a vehicle that had been left abandoned and completely blocking the footpath.
🚶♂️🐕 Dog walkers, pedestrians and, most concerningly, disabled members of the public were being forced to leave the pavement and walk out into the road to get around the vehicle.
⚠️ This created a real and completely unnecessary risk to public safety. Having people—particularly those who may already have mobility difficulties—forced into the road could potentially have resulted in serious injury or worse.
It is extremely disappointing that anyone would leave a vehicle in such a way, showing little consideration for other members of the community. A pavement is there to provide a safe route for pedestrians, and blocking it entirely can have serious consequences. 🚫🚗
✅ The vehicle has now been recovered, meaning the footpath is once again accessible and safer for everyone.
👏 Thank you to those who brought the issue to my attention. Looking out for one another and reporting hazards like this can make a real difference to keeping our streets safe. ❤️
