It isn't necessary to go far to find bollards (reducing the pavement width) that are necessary to dissuade drivers from thinking that the pavement is somewhere for them to park. It is lawful to stop on double yellow lines in some circumstances. Do you have any evidence that this "stop" was unlawful? The sentence in my post was not a question but since you decided to answer your response should have been yes or no. We can follow on from that if the answer is no: either the driver took a chance that it wouldn't be noticed (making officialdom look incompetent) or officialdom must have had good reason. It is even lawful to stop on double reds at certain times. According to the story, the shop owner could legally place the pump on the pavement if a payment was made. The story does not say that. And that is probably because it would not be correct. Space on the footway (which many people term "the pavement") is not for sale. The £100 is a penalty for breaking the law on obstruction. The previous business had chairs and tables outside. Precedent exists. £100 would be for getting an official out of bed to put a mark on a piece of paper. A lot of supposition (not to say asserted and untested history) there. The view of the previous business is still on Streetview, if you bothered to look. You have a very strange imagination if you think a pump takes up more space. Obviously nothing is going to shake you out of your position. Oh, I accept that the bureacratic mind has nothing to do with rocket science. Rocket science is considerably less complicated. |

I expect many people look forward to the day when authorities have as much zeal to go after the people that leave their car on the pavement If cars are regularly parked in such a way that they cause danger/inconvenience and complaint from other road users, the council will normally issue a warning then take enforcement action. The problem is that the condition has to be regular. There is no proper process to discourage the chance parker. as they do with the people that put out small items that are much easier to move out of the way. A whole load of bikes that have been arranged on the pavement is not easy to move out of the way, and will be impossible for someone in a I was considering the pump, since it is the item under discussion. I accept the rest of what you say. |

The problem is that the condition has to be regular. There is no proper process to discourage the chance parker. I suspect a lot of those chance parkers will use a bit of pavement that's popular with other chance parkers, such as near a newsagent, off-licence or chippy. Alternatively near a nursery, school, doctor's surgery etc. In those cases it doesn't matter that it's not often the same driver, it will still be enough of a problem that the council does something about it. A whole load of bikes that have been arranged on the pavement is not easy to move out of the way, and will be impossible for someone in a I was considering the pump, since it is the item under discussion. I accept the rest of what you say. The issue with the pump is what the newspaper or shop owners have invented to make it seem that the council is being unreasonable, and that the shop owners are just innocent victims who are being persecuted for a generous gesture to help the community. I love the way that they're playing the "community" card when their advertising shows that they're just wannabe hipsters. I'm not completely unsympathetic to their problem, having worked at a few places that had problems with neighbours and shared spaces or lines of demarcation, but they really do need to get that application to the council sorted. |
