The News of cars outside Summit Garage, claiming the garage put the cars out between 9am and 5pm. This restricted pedestrian access forcing people with pushchairs and those who are disabled to walk in the road.
Speaking to
The News, co-owner of Summit Garage, John Newey said the land adjacent to the building is not pavement and the garage owns the land.
He said: “In the 1970s the council offered to buy the land, but we declined. In the 1980s, Dudley Council resurfaced pavements from the Bulls Head pub on the Himley Road up to our front gates and stopped.
