A woman who has family in the area says the problem is a major issue for people with buggies, wheelchair users, and those who are vision impaired.
Some locals in Piercetown, Newbridge, say cars parking on footpaths are putting lives at risk.
One resident told Kfm a local man in a wheelchair is being forced onto the road because both footpaths on his daily route are blocked by vehicles.
Images show the man navigating a busy road after being unable to use the pavement.
A woman who has family in the area says the problem is a major issue for people with buggies, wheelchair users, and those who are vision impaired.
She described a recent incident where neighbours had to assist a blind man who walked into a parked car and couldn’t make his way around it.
Residents in Phairc Mhuire have also raised similar concerns.
Proposals for double yellow lines were previously rejected, as it would have meant residents paying for parking permits.
The incidents come ahead of Make Way Day 2025 this Friday, September 26th - a nationwide campaign highlighting how everyday obstacles can block access for people with disabilities.
