A PENSIONER has leafleted "inconsiderate" parkers who stopped her rubbish from getting picked up.

Sheila Gunn put the flyers on the windscreens of cars parked on both sides of Mere Close, Locksbottom, which made it too narrow for rubbish trucks to fit down the road.

She hopes the flyers will let the car owners know what an inconvenience their parking is and will stop them from blocking the street.

The 75-year-old thinks the cars belong to workers from the nearby Princess Royal University Hospital.

Mrs Gunn says she has seen a doctor with a stethoscope round his neck walking from one of the vehicles.

She is compiling a list of the registration numbers of cars which are double parked and plans to publish them to name and shame their owners.

Mrs Gunn says she will keep leafleting cars parked on both sides of the road until the problem is sorted out.

The grandmother-of-eight says hospital staff have been parking on her road ever since the hospital opened in April 2003 but last Friday was the first time cars were double parked.

Bromley Council sent rubbish collectors out to Mrs Gunn's road the next day to pick up bags they could not get to because of the parking problems.

However, Mrs Gunn is worried about being missed again.

She said: "This will happen again if we do not persuade people to do something.

"The whole road is feeling incensed by it all.

"I'd like those people at the hospital to know what a nuisance they are creating.

The retired bookkeeper added: "I understand the difficulty about parking but the road is not big enough and it is inconsiderate."

A Bromley Hospitals NHS Trust spokesman said: "We are aware some staff park on streets surrounding the hospital.

"We are sympathetic to the concerns of residents and are exploring as many ways as possible to ease the parking situation around the hospital.

"We have created additional off-site parking for staff in order to keep spaces at the hospital available for patients and visitors.

"We are continuing to work with Transport for London on the possibility of additional bus services coming on to the hospital site."
