Cars parking on pavements is causing havoc near Manchester Royal Infirmary
26.01.2022 - 12:07 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Drivers are making a stretch of road in south Manchester a major issue for pedestrians.
Plymouth Grove, in Ardwick, sees motorists regularly park their vehicles fully on the pavements - meaning pedestrians have to walk into the road to avoid them.
The main road, which links A6 Stockport Road to Upper Brook Street, runs just behind Manchester Royal Infirmary.

And one person, Dr Julia Kasmire, shared images and video of the issue on Twitter.
She explained to the Manchester Evening News that she visits the Manchester Royal Infirmary at least once a week and has found that the cars parked on Plymouth Grove make walking more difficult.
“If I turn or step to the side frequently, that really slows me down and increases the chances I’ll fall over because I have problems with joints and dizziness.
“So having a bunch of erratic obstructions on the pavement makes the pavement really low quality compared to what that pavement should be.
“The pavements along Plymouth Grove, where I’m sharing the videos, where I walk at least once a week, sometimes quite a bit more often they’re quite wide, well maintained pavement except for they’re full of cars.
“Combined with bins on bin day and then the required street furniture, you know the lamps and the bus stops and the power boxes and things like that, it creates a really problematic obstacle course.
“That’s going to be a much more serious problem for someone who is using a wheelchair or has a cane or a guide dog or even pushing a pram.”
Dr. Kasmire, of Ancoats, believes that the issue stems from people parking on Plymouth Grove who work at MRI.
