I must make mention of yet another blatant case of lawlessness and possible corruption in our blessed country. There is an establishment on Crystal Stream in Petit Valley whose owner has seen it fit to cover the sidewalk in front of the establishment, furnish it and effectively has claimed it as his own property, forcing pedestrians to walk around, in the road if you please, as the sidewalk is no longer available.
Who is this boldfaced person who, evidently, has strong connections either in the police service, Government or regional corporation, or whoever this jurisdiction falls under? How can this be allowed? And this in the wake of certain bars on Ariapita Avenue being refused licence renewals because their patrons converge on the sidewalks, among other reasons.
The establishment, being a popular one, attracts so many patrons that some of the lawless ones park in front of residents' gates causing them to have to remain indoors even in the case of an emergency, as was the case with one resident two weeks ago. Where is the police and wrecker service when you need them? I am calling on the relevant authority to look into this matter urgently.
