In Lester today, March 2nd, drivers in old beer fed up with cars parked on sidewalks and blocking pedestrian crossings along the parade. This daily chaos holds up buses and creates safety hazards, especially near nursery and school pickup zones. Local frustration has boiled over as the problem worsens quickly. High parking fees and limited spots force drivers to abandon vehicles anywhere they can. Businesses right next to the crossing say visibility drops during the busy 3 p.m. school run, putting kids at risk. Residents and shop workers report near constant issues, with some long-time locals now avoiding the street altogether. People with mobility problems find blocked paths, particularly dangerous on this fast-moving road. Local MP Neil Lowe Bryan has called on the county council to install ballards and restore order to the area. He highlights the nuisance for pedestrians and those with disabilities. Nearby public car parks offer combined 411 spaces across three locations, but shoppers say more needs to be

done to encourage there. Use and ease the pressure. D&N is brought to you by our sponsor. When you want calm, do not reach for your phone. Lay back and listen, S-O-L-I, solelypillow.com.
