A RESIDENT who was knocked down by a car in the main street of Askrigg asked Askrigg and Low Abbotside Parish Council to take seriously the problem of “illegal” pavement parking in the village at a meeting conducted via Zoom. Tony Hutchinson of Brecon Bar said in an email that “sooner or later someone will get killed. No more procrastinating; this illegal parking on the pavement throughout the village has to be taken more seriously and addressed as a matter of urgency,” he wrote. Another resident, Cathy Gosling of Silver Street, raised the difficulty of exiting the street into the main road. Many people drove too fast down the hill and if vans or large cars were parked outside Skeldale House on the right or the village shop on the left, it was “virtually impossible” to see what was coming.
