A survey by Cardiff Council<\/a> asking people for their thoughts about cars parking on pavements in Cardiff has received hundreds of responses on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One wheelchair user, who wishes to remain anonymous, told CJS that they feel unsafe on Cardiff’s streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wheelchair user moved last year to Cardiff from London, where it is illegal to park on pavements. He says he felt much safer there because he did not have to risk his life by going into the road to avoid parked cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a mum to a child in a wheelchair this should be made illegal. I have suffered verbal abuse when politely asking people to move. I have also had to endanger mine and my sons life by walking into busy roads because of this<\/p>— jonahgoesjeffing (@jonahjeffing) January 29, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote>
