More unbelievable parking

Parking remains one of the biggest issues in the village, since launching alderleyedge.com 4 years ago we have published numerous articles about inconsiderate and illegal parking.

Local residents also contact us on a regular basis to raise their concerns and yesterday we were sent this photo, taken at the junction of Eaton Drive and Ryleys Lane at 4.23pm on Wednesday, 1st June.

Coincidentally I was taken aback to see a car parked in an almost identical position a couple of weeks ago, but I was unable to stop and take a photo as I was in a rush to collect my daughter from school. I can only assume that at the time the driver parked their car they were surrounded by other vehicles.

From time to time we have published photos of what we consider to be ridiculous parking and we thought this one was also worth sharing.

Eric Teasdale, who sent us the photo, said "Everyone who drives a car, or other type of vehicle, should do so responsibly. That includes parking too.

"The area where Ryley's Lane and Eaton Drive meet is one which children frequent - there are three schools in the vicinity. Restricting visibility increases the risks of an accident and endangers life. Having worked as a police surgeon and attended many road traffic accidents has reinforced that view.

"Additionally, blocking traffic is hardly sensible. It annoys other drivers and delays them. Behaving irresponsibly should be strongly discouraged."

Here's another example of ridiculous parking at the same junction, taken in February 2012, the cars do look similar but we have checked back in our files and can confirm it was not the same vehicle.
