We have a few places where it would be really easy to get run over.. There is an independent supermarket on a busy road in Devonport (yes we have them) . with a parking bay across the road. You usually walk half way across while you wait for the traffic coming the other way to clear and stand in the middle lane which is a turning lane to go up a major side street.. I am so wary when I do this (it is just a matter of time before someone gets mowed over...)

So why do you shop there

I don't that often.. and if I get run over and killed they won't be seeing me again...

But seriously, it is a wonder the council couldn't see this danger when it decided to put the parking bay in...

Sounds like they need to install a pedestrian Crossing....

Even if you saved substantially, it's not worth getting cleaned up for, is it. I'd let the shop know that until it's safe, you'll boycott the place.

They are building a bigger better version a bit further up the road but not sure how the access will be for that one yet...

Stay away from the old shop till the new one is built. We don't want you or your partner (Trish) dropping off the forum unexpectedly.
