Sharing Pavements

I have recently had some eye problems. As a consequence my attention has been drawn to the hazards of our pavements. I have also noticed how many residents are having trouble sharing pavements, particuarly if they have bad sight, need sticks and frames.

Would it be possible for us all to be a bit more aware of each other. Small children on scooters appear to be let loose with little or no pavement instruction, and many bikes are on pavements well away from the cycle paths. On uneven surfaces there is an accident waiting to happen. Perhaps there could be a bit more instruction in the schools for children using bikes and scooters to make them them more aware of people trying to traverse certain areas, mainly when the childrten are going to school and coming back. Apparently people at Bankside are frightened to use Wharf Road at certain times, and they should not be made to feel like that. Cars and buses are also half on and half off the pavement. I do realise the difficultiess, but we just need to be more aware of other people and SHARE.
