Nottingham Targets Sidewalk Parking

Nottingham’s new pavement parking fines are here this fall—thanks to fresh government powers—but the city’s taking a smart, balanced approach. Instead of a blanket ban, officials will target drivers causing real blockages, especially on narrow streets where parking everywhere isn’t feasible. For people like Liz Silver, who’s visually impaired and regularly hit by wing mirrors, this is a long-overdue step toward safer, more accessible sidewalks. Her solution? Painted parking lines to guide drivers. The council is partnering with disability groups to shape enforcement, aiming to improve mobility without punishing residents in tight spaces. It’s about practical change, not punishment. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
