The 51-year-old said the lines, which were painted on the road last week, stretch across her entire shop in Southampton and to a nearby house. Louise said: "It's heart-breaking to see an elderly person get out of their vehicle and not be able to get to you so I'm walking to help them out across the road to make it easier for them. "Personally, it has devastated me so much that people with a disability are unable to walk a lot of distance to go to the shop \- they're worried, they're going to hurt themselves and not going to be able to get to me, so they don't want to leave their homes.
