A new mother is leaving shame notes on the cars of drivers who park on the pavement and block her pram from getting through.
Louise Brown, 33, mother to Bonnie, 22 months, and Louie, 3 months, began leaving the notes on vehicles in the village of Ingatestone, Essex two weeks ago.
Arguing that she shouldn't have to walk with young children in the road to avoid the cars that are blocking the pavement.
One of her notes read: 'Please do not block footpath. You are forcing me into the road with a young baby. Thank you.'

The recruitment consultant said: 'Every single day I am facing these problems - I think drivers have become lazy and want to park right outside their houses.
'There's only pavement on one side of the road outside my home while the other is a grass verge - if cars are on the pavement, I have to step out into the road.
'The majority of the cars are coming through in excess of 40mph and right beside a country rod bend.
'You've just got to have that one car coming round at excess speed, glancing at the radio or checking their mobile and something could happen to us.'
She takes walks every day with the pram and also heads out along the village roads with her three dogs, but recently she has become increasingly frustrated with the situation.
Louise said: 'I said to myself 'I wish I had a notepad with me because there's so many cars I could leave messages on'.
'The bad words come to my head but being polite is more likely to get something done. A smile gets you so far, manners cost you nothing.
'Sometimes it does make a difference - the taxi driver that used to park at the top of the road has shuffled over a bit, but they're still on the pavement.'
Louise added that she believed pavement parking should be banned more widely as London is currently the only place in England where it is illegal.
She said: 'If people have to park on the pavement, just please be considerate and leave enough room.
'The people that are there for the whole day and weekends, it's just really inconvenient. I don't want to put my baby in road.'
The mum-of-two said she one day hopes she won't have to leave any more notes.
She said: 'I'd like to be able to put a smiley face and say thank you for being considerate - and then the notepad will be locked away safely in the cupboard.'
