To be fair, if a builder is blocking the pavement temporarily to complete a task it?s reasonable that he gets left to it - especially if he?s using heavy tools, machine tools, or materials that may splash, like cement and paint. It?s often less hassle to cross the road with a pram than it is for a builder to stop his task, mind his tools, clear a path, then start all over. Obvs pavements are a right of way, but sometimes an objective approach is needed rather than just obsessing on ?rights?, especially when it?s a temporary situation. rachp Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Yes, I spoke to a builder on my road last week as > there was barely room to get a small pushchair > through, let alone a wheelchair.
