Residents Back Appeal After Crews Struggle to Access Roads

Waste and recycling crews have recently struggled to access several residential roads in Exeter due to cars parked on corners.

The issue is preventing vital services from reaching homes—posing a risk not only to collections but also to emergency response.

In response, Exeter City Council’s recycling champion Denis the Dustcart shared a reminder on social media urging drivers to Think Before You Park. The message struck a chord with residents. The post received 460 likes, was shared 532 times, and reached nearly a quarter of a million people.

The overwhelming support shows that many residents feel the same way—parking on corners puts lives at risk. Let’s work together to keep our roads clear and accessible.
