Car is constantly parked like this
sometimes worse
I don't know the rules on disabled parking so they may be within their rights, but there is a disabled bay that is ALWAYS empty not 30 foot away, and its often causing an obstruction to back alley and our place of work car park is only accessible via back ally I've got a couple of pics on different dates, and timestamped pic of car and empty disabled car parking space. - On going for weeks / months. Never seems to be there on a weekend or after 6pm. Outram Street, Darlington, corners of Napier Street and back alleys.

Half mast flags
27th September
There is a bunch of flags posted on the lamp posts at half mast. I would suggest they either be removed or at the very least moved to the top of the light posts as it feels like we have been in mourning for the last month or so.
