"This Area committee calls on the Chief Executive to liaise with all relevant Developers/Property management companies for the purpose of dealing with the parking issue in Citywest due to lack of parking in apartment blocks. Residents from the apartments in front of Edenbrook are parking cars on pavements, in front of houses, at junctions of the road blocking the road access for the Edenbrook residents. This is creating a dangerous situation on the corner junctions of the estate where oncoming vehicles have very limited space in most situations. Cars are being parked in the pathway/junctions and in front of the houses, obstructing the vehicle movements for residents, wheelchair access as well as blocking the visibility of oncoming vehicles for children playing in the estate. This issue was foreseen and is becoming a safety concern. A detailed plan needs to be implemented and action taken before an accident happens?"
