PSNI Foyle forced to issue further parking advice to motorists in campaign highlighting how vehicles obstruct pavements

Police have highlighted an operation yesterday which saw them draw attention to vehicles parked on pavements.

PSNI Foyle said that they were forced to issue further advice to motorists highlighting the effect their parking has on others.

"Foyleside & Moor Neighbourhood Team are out in the City Centre taking in the rays and providing much needed advice to inconsiderate motorists who continue to obstruct our busy city pavements," said a representative.

Many motorists park on the pavement without stopping to consider the obstacle it poses for blind people, partially sighted people or vulnerable older people, according to the PSNI.

The PSNI have worked with charities RNIB, Guide Dogs NI and the Cedar Foundation to produce the leaflets on the topic, which they handed out yesterday.
