Parking on Pavements

Fi, you could also report them under section 59 !!

Paul

Good idea, but if it refers to "Parked vehicles" they cannot be issued a S59 if they are under 15 Yards from a public highway!
I looked into this in the past.

Yes they can, as long as they are causeing "destress" thats all that is needed.

Paul

Sorry but Not if the vehicle is parked, we tried it and it got thrown out. However the officer who issues it can always try, but if they shout not out, they are likely to get away with it!
An then you set a precedent and have every [!Expletive Deleted!] in the street parking where they like.

Opps sorry mods I swore.... :shock: 8-[

While house hunting in an unfamiliar area, I pulled up, half on the curb as it was a very busy road, out side the house I was due to look at. Turned the engine off, pulled out the paper work - yip, right house - lets go and find some where to park........couldn't get the lady to start! (Intermittent starter motor problems) While sitting there contemplating the situation, an older gentleman walked down the side of my car, so I opened the window to apologise to him (even though he could get past with room to spare), only to get a load of abuse shouted at me. Apparently there is no use apologising even if I am unable to move the offending object! I told him that if he could move it he was more then welcome and shut the window! Welcome to the area!

A CSO ticketed a delivery van which was delivering to my house, for having two wheels on the pavement. There was room to get past and the reason he parked like that was because cars were parked on the opposite side of the road on the school zig zags at tipping out time 3.30 pm.
The mothers picking up their kids on zig zags never got ticketed.

CSO people also ticketed me at 4am for having numbers and letters on my no plates which were 2cm too small.
Good to see they are keeping us all safe in our beds :roll:

If you're prevented from leaving your driveway then the Police can help: you have the right of access to the Queen's highway. However, if you cannot got in to your driveway then tough - it doesn't work both ways.

PCSOs have effectively replaced traffic wardens, and parking tickets is one of the few useful things they can actually do.

Not in Wolverhampton!

We'e lucky in having very wide pavements, & can manage to park there without blocking it, or the roadway.

It's the same situation all the way down the street, bar the last 30 - 40 yards at the bottom end, where they're about a yard narrower.




There's a good 4 foot between the 110 & our boundary wall

i would argue a possible criminal damage ! to the grass area !

Damage is the offence commited by any person who, without lawfull excuse destroys or damages property belonging to another, intending to destroy or damage any such property or being reckless as to whether any such property would be damaged or destroyed

i would suggest the bold part applies. the reckless bit especially
by repeatedly parking there in this weather the grass will get churned up and we all know what people think of that  :roll:

try quoting that to the council - or failing that ring your local police and tell  them you want to report criminal damage  ;)
