What hope is there when this is how driving instructors park and teach pupils that this is acceptable. Kids, pick a responsible teacher. You cannot pass your test with behaviour like this.

#Hovis, proper parking. I remember when they advertised their bread with a kid pushing a bike. How times change

And to cap it all, a #SwanseaCouncil van parked like this: Disabled: get in the road ! Parent with young children: get in the road ! Mobility scooter: get in the road !

I cannot imagine why our local Council (Swansea) never want to do anything about blocked cycle paths, shared use paths, double yellows etc, bloody etc… On a completely unrelated matter, here’s a #SwanseaCouncil work van parked on a pavement (it’s a regular visitor to this stretch of pavement)

Come to Swansea where both the Council and South Wales Police condone this type of behaviour. This from just a 15 minute walk this morning. Pedestrians and their safety are simply inconsequential.

#EveryLittleHelps ‘obstruct a pavement’ You might expect #Tesco to be a little more responsible after one of their van drivers hit & killed a pedestrian in North Wales. But ‘nah’ 🙄

Day 7 Swansea Council have cleared the rubble but not the ‘slippery under foot’ grit. On the upside, we now have additional traffic control in place on this speeding-plagued street. We have a ‘cone’ That’ll fix it 🙄 👏…….👏…….👏…….

Bloody cyclists, demolishing a wall and blocking a safe pedestrian route. Oh, no, my mistake it was a car. Swansea Council’s answer ? Shut the pavement (school just 200m further along) and do nothing - no safe crossing, no alternative - just nothing…
Three photographs of a partially demolished wall, hit by a car and the pavement simply closed off by the local council. No safe alternative provided for vulnerable users.

South Wales Police Zero interest in prosecuting dangerous driving in proximity to pedestrians, horse riders or cyclists. Also SWP, mounting an operation to fine cyclists on Queen St in Cardiff. SWP: choosing laws to enforce and who’s worthy of their effort.

@ianwalker.bsky.social Swansea Council are wasting money upgrading the shared-use path in Gowerton (B4295). - no cyclist / pedestrian priority at junctions, ‘tuck’ the crossing point just round the corner: you can’t be seen by drivers Why ‘the hell’ can’t S’sea Council employ competent road engs
