Petition

stop the people opening shops on the pavement in southall

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Alot of people open shops and block everyones way of getting past the bustop as they take up alot of space to walk. there is alot in Southall and alot of them arent authorised to do so. they take up alot of space and its really frustrating as half the walkway is blocked in street shops in Southall
it is really frustrating. it makes such a mess and there is no space to walk on Southall's streets. sometimes I feel vulnerable to car accidents as I am forced to walk on the road as most of it is covered by street shops. they cause a lot of litter and rubbish and make the place look really bad. I hope you take action to this problem
