Increased traffic flow encountering problems due to parked cars around bend on Station Road restricting views on blind bends

This above problem has resulted in vehicles (including buses and vans) using the footpath/pavement to negotiate past each other and often at a speed not conducive to the road conditions. A consequence of this is that there have been at least three collisions in the last eighteen months one of which necessitated the road being closed for approximately three hours. I am extremely concerned about the possibility of there being a very serious accident (potential fatality) occurring either involving a car occupant or an innocent pedestrian as a result of the cars mounting the pavement to pass each other. Recently at peak times there has been a significant level of congestion at either end of the row of parked cars. This is a relatively narrow village road and is not designed to take the width of three vehicles.+

Since submitting this a parked car has been hit whilst two vehicles passed each other neither giving way . Numerous near misses and increased usage of the footpath to negotiate past each other because vehicles are parked all the way round the bend. This is a danger to pedestrians and potential damage to property garden walls. Whilst cleaning the footpath outside our property a driver had the nerve to tell us to move so he could drive across the footpath as there were incoming vehicles and he didn't want to give way . I can see a serious accident occuring here involving vehicles or pedestrians.

There has been no update on my original post and I would appreciate if any actions that have been taken or are pending could be communicated. Failing this I would appreciate if contact details could be communicated on whose responsibility this problem lies as since the turn of the year the situation has significantly deteriorated and I fear that there is an accident just waiting to happen.
