Many drains/sewers in Eynsham are unadopted by the water company and any repair cost has to be met by the local residents. A few years ago the sewers collapsed on John Lopes Road as a consequence of vehicles parking on the pavements at the Mill Street end. This led to effluent coming up into the living rooms! The repair cost of £2000 had to be met by residents of that area.
I would hate to see bollards on every single pavement in Eynsham and let's hope we don’t have to go down this route. Unfortunately this was the only solution to the problems in John Lopes Road but it has been successful and maybe more are needed.

PAVEMENT PARKING is dangerous, damaging and illegal - no wonder it's so widespread! Of course quality of life is about more than this but we have to start somewhere. Do feed in your ideas: click on 'COMMENTS' or send an email.

The off-licence is a classic case of how the erection of bollards has had little effect as the delivery vehicles now just block the pavement on the other side. Now I presume that this is not damaging the drains, but the pavement is still being damaged and obstructed.
