So I took a bunch of photos, highlighted on them where the markers on the sidewalk are that delineate the border of where they are allowed to put their outdoor furniture. Just for measure I also took a photo a bit back showing how the branches of the trees on the other side also block the door. The council said they couldn't do anything about that because the tubs the trees are planted in are on their own side.
On Thursday morning I took my bike out, because I was meeting with my sister later. I took it out before the tables and chairs were put out, so I didn't have the annoyance of having to clear my path. When I got home that afternoon I didn't even look if I could put my bike inside, it was busy at the outdoor seating of other cafés and restaurants so I just parked my bike in the store.
However, yesterday morning when I took my bike to the side entrance the two trees were moved back and the branches weren't blocking the door anymore. It seems that my photos convinced the council that they could talk to that restaurant about the trees. I did forget to check yesterday afternoon to see how the tables and chairs were placed. Next week the weather is good, so I can see how the situation is both with and without customers.
