'Motorcyclists are brazenly riding on the pavement - but nobody is doing anything'
Briefly

Motorcyclists in Burleigh Way, Enfield Town, commonly use the pavement as a thoroughfare, leading to safety hazards for residents. Parking enforcement measures have been ineffective, mainly offering fines for illegal parking on double yellow lines but not for pavement usage. The Enfield Town Liveable Neighbourhood project initially considered dedicated motorcycle parking but faced heavy public opposition, preventing its implementation. Residents suggest physical barriers and signage as potential solutions, while the council notes limitations on making changes since Burleigh Way is not classified as public highway.
