The patrons of these bars\/nightclubs park their vehicles in front of residents&#8217; driveways and pedestrian entrances. This should not be so at all.\u00a0 Why would I want to park my vehicle in front of the residence of another person when I am actually visiting at another location.<\/p>\n<p>In many instances senior persons reside in these areas and Heaven forbids that the emergency personnel (paramedics, etc) want to enter a residence to take in a wheel chair or stretcher).\u00a0 Then one would have to locate the driver for vehicle blocking the gateway.\u00a0 Disaster!<\/p>\n<p>This is just not right.

When will the relevant authorities understand that they need to perform their duties in a professional and humane manner.<\/p>\n<p>This cry has been loud and far too often now: from the people of Brown&#8217;s Avenue,\u00a0 Ottos, Kentish Road and more.<\/p>\n<p>When will the public servants work in the interest of the citizens and not just for a minority that is only concerned about having a temporary high.<\/p>\n<p>Whenever I drive into a residential area and attempt to find parking space; I am always very careful not to park in front of anyone&#8217; driveway or pedestrian gateway.

But no,\u00a0 they are selfish. As Obsti said: &#8220;All of self and none for we&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>We need an end to this mess. The bars\/nightclubs should be zoned; relocated into areas that are outside of residential areas.\u00a0 The people who want to patronise them will always still find their way to them.<\/p>\n<p>So please: whomsoever are responsible for issuing licenses to these establishment:\u00a0 HAVE SOME CONSCIENCE.
