RedM Posted December 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Oddly they booked one and left loads of others just as badly parked or worse. We thought they were going to book loads but they drove off. Maybe a resident had alerted them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted December 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Perfectly happy they are booking people who park illegally, but we watched them drive away ignoring several other cars parked equally as bad only yards away. And as we walked towards the stadium there were loads of cars who had obviously moved cones to park on corners.They could not have missed them, that’s what mystified us. It was almost like one resident had complained so they only dealt with that one car, surely that isn’t right. Book the lot or not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex_BCFC Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 If people park properly then nothing to fear or moan about it. Never had a problem parking within 15 minutes of ground in 16 years of being able to drive there so just pure laziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did have a look at this area after complaints but the law was a bit vague as they were on a grass verge at the time not obstructing the passenger footpath i will be honest it all got a bit complicated and technical so I asked our legal advisors to have a look and they are still working out if any offence committed when pedestrians could walk past easily .

No , unless you commit a specific offence when you drive onto / over the pavement (Due care etc etc) Parking On pavements is not an offence per se outside of London The potential offences are 1) Leaving a vehicle in a dangerous position 2) Causing an uneccessary obstruction Of course , as there is a wide verge at that point and as the officer says herself pedestrians are not impeded in any way , the police could take a common sense approach , and in fact I’d suggest they’d struggle to justify either of the above offences But hey ho , no let’s see if we can find some legislation so we can issue them tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a clear answer I know but it is a little bit complicated and I wouldn’t like to get it wrong ! Rather than looking at the law books sometimes just looking for a bit of common sense is the best way. If it looks like an obstruction, it is? That is the reason I suspect the cars were parked on a grass verge, so pedestrian access was not hindered Any parking on pavements is a hazard and should be nicked. I was once booked for parking on a bit of waste ground outside the old dog/ section at Ashton, not for causing an obstruction, but the officer assumed I had to cross the double white line in the middle of the road coming down the hill. The fine was revoked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised no tickets are issued there. Sometimes the cars parked on the pavement opposite Wickes do get tickets. People parking there are taking a gamble. There was a night game last season where cars with blue badges parked on double yellow lines outside Ford were towed away. Blue badge holders have always parked there, and still do. The reason given was that Ford were expecting a delivery. Well, most of us know that the transporter drops off on the main road, so this was bullshit. The ironic thing being, Ford had one of their brand new vans parked out on the pavement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
