Road repair in a white rectangular mark out what looks to be a parking spot. Countless cars park there daily . But being partially in a tight bus stop area the bus cannot always draw in so elderly people aged 90 and blind people locally have to step down into the road . This has been ongoing since you marked up the road for repair - months and TFL have i believe asked you to act
