    It was only a matter of time before something like this was going to happen, it is incredible the amount of illegal parking that goes on around the cross area. It is a pedestrian zone but yet cars and vans are parked around there all day every day! There needs to be policing of the area and action taken before there is a fatality!

    Police are asking for witnesses to contact 101, why don’t the police check the cameras? But that would mean them doing a wee bit work tut tut.
