A recent photograph with some examples of pavement obstructions

• I WOULD like to highlight the growing problem of obstructions on pavements, particularly in the Dartmouth Park area.

As a visually impaired person, I am finding it increasingly difficult to go shopping without encountering overgrown bushes. The worst are those with thorns which have cut my face.

Also there are now numerous collections of large bins left out constantly on the pavements, rental bikes strewn across the middle of pavements, and also the trip wires of charging cables for electric vehicles stretching across pavements without any cover on them.

Camden Council cannot police all of this (except the bins on pavements which I understood was not supposed to happen when these large bins were introduced).

All that is needed is common sense and for people to think about others less mobile than themselves.
