Re: Parking on Blackburn road
Just found this while browsing the news, could this be an answer to the parking problems ?

The driver of the other taxi which is just passing shook his fist at me as I was about to take the photo.
The DVLA details for that taxi;......

It's enough to make you want to take on of those new flats opposite.

Sitting on one of the balcony, sipping a skinny latte, and shouting...

'Oi, Idiot!'

'What do you think you are doing parking there?'

This car has been "parked" here for a few days now
Great parking when you need to take half the pavement up as well

Re: Parking on Blackburn road
I stopped for a paper at the One Stop Shop on Blackburn road and had just time to get my phone and take the picture below.
I have cropped it down a bit because the faces of people were visible.

As I took the photo one local native shouted out in a mocking voice "Tell da Council".

Re: Parking on Blackburn road
Looks like there is a parking bay and the car is still on the footpath. It's a police issue when the car is causing an obstruction not the council.

Yes Neil, the car is half in a parking bay but the part of the bay where it was half parked says "loading only".

I took the photo when I got back in my car and I was parked in the half which is for any car.
