Bicycles locked to street furniture blocking the pavement
Sent to Merton Council less than a minute later. Council ref: SRQ-1268125-W1Q3W3.
This bike is often left parked to either the street sign or lamppost. It is a narrow pavement on only one side and a sharp bend which makes it very dangerous for wheelchair users or parents with buggies as we have to move into the road around the bicycle. Please can some signage or communications be left to give advice on more appropriate places to leave a bike?
