Hello and welcome to Our Liverpool.
Liverpool's problem with out of control pavement parking resurfaced once again this weekend after years of campaigning by some to highlight the issues and dangers created by the illegal parking. More cars blocking the pavement and SUVs parked on double yellows were added to the ever-growing list of nuisance illegally parked cars continuing to blight the city's streets.
'Ordinary people are tired of tolerating illegal pavement parking', according to one campaigner. Sharing an image of two huge SUVs parked on double yellows on London Road, one man said it happens 'six days a week'.

Sharing their story, one man said he is 'fed up' of reporting parking in the Anfield area, saying his disabled parking bay for his disabled daughter is constantly taken by inconsiderate parkers. Another said 'one day someone will be killed' as they complained about the 'number of taxis and delivery drivers' parking on 'the zigzags and zebra crossing' near their work.
The ECHO has been asking readers to share the streets they think are plagued by illegal pavement parking. You can share your concerns here.
