I have issues with pavements that are totally blocked, and people with mobility issues have a lot of problems walking in their own streets.
Due to this, the council intends to adopt a low-key ‘soft approach’ to ensure that any enforcement action is taken and considers the impacts or displacement that would be experienced across South Lanarkshire’s towns, villages or within residential areas. "So, there's still a cost to the council to provide parking attendants, now if we're going to have to invoke this I suspect we need to increase the amount of parking attendants that we've got depending on how much of this we're going to actually try to enforce, so I’d like feedback on that.”
