Poorly parked cars blocking NR2 pavements have sparked a call for enforcement action from an angry pedestrian campaigner.

Lucy Hall, 66, was on her way to the park on Monday when she came across a row of parked cars blocking almost all of the pavement in Gladstone Street, between Earlham Road and Dereham Road.

Ms Hall, who campaigns for Living Streets to make the city more accessible, said the issue would leave those in mobility scooters and wheelchairs stuck in their homes.

She says she became more aware of the issues caused by the anti-social parkers when she was confined to a mobility scooter last year following an injury.

Ms Hall said: "I saw all these cars on the path, it was so annoying.

"This has become a big thing for me after my time in a mobility scooter last year.

"You suddenly notice how hard this sort of thing makes it to get around.

"They're trapping people who use a wheelchair or scooter in their homes."

Her tweet about the incident has been liked almost 1,200 times and has even attracted the attention of broadcaster Jeremy Vine - who highlights cycling issues - who asked his more than 750,000 followers how the problem could be solved.

Currently parking on the pavement is only illegal in London, with anti-social parking being dealt with by both police and local councils in Norwich depending on whether the offence is deemed to be an obstruction or not.

Ms Hall, who made headlines when she blocked Exchange Street in November, added: "Police need to get on top of this across the country and just make parking off the road illegal.

"The whole thing is about respect, if any of those people parking had ever been in a wheelchair, they wouldn't do it.

"There's been a bit of tension between parkers and pedestrians but I think if one person does it the rest follow.

"There needs to be more priority for pedestrians."
