I am very concerned about the ubiquitous parking on pavements that occurs in Rochester (and elsewhere) and worry that this street parking habit will spread to new housing developments, disrupting the transport hierarchy whereby pedestrians come first, followed by cyclists, then public transport users, then drivers of private vehicles. People with prams, wheelchairs, or carrying shopping cannot get past cars parked on the pavement, and need to walk in the streets.
