Found a parking fine slapped on my windscreen this morning for parking on the curb outside my house in a bloody cul-de-sac miles from any parking restrictions. The most annoying part...it was only my car that got a bloody ticket despite others being out there!
Have I got a chance if I challenge it or should I just pay up?
Had it in my mums street years back. Parked on the kerb, opposite a blokes drive, turns out he was mates will some copper who clearly abused his power to drive over from Chase ave especially to ignore every other car in the street to put a ticket on mine, and mine alone.Found a parking fine slapped on my windscreen this morning for parking on the curb outside my house in a bloody cul-de-sac miles from any parking restrictions.

It was apparently for having two wheels on the pavement, partially blocking it.Is it illegal to park there?
What was the violation, don't they have to list a reason?
Yeah it is a council one. Two wheels were too far on the pavement apparently.Is it a council one?
Siunds treasonable one of my pet hates seeing disabled people and parents with kids having to go on the road with selfish Parker’sYeah it is a council one. Two wheels were too far on the pavement apparently.
If blocking the pavement is a fine they could make millions from the people in the streets around me alone.
Fair pointsIt fucking should be. But so should ensuring that residential areas have enough parking. Even new build estates have cars on the pavement.

As far as I am aware it is not illegal to park on the kerb . London is the only place where it is illegal in England which carries an instant penalty fine simply for that act. . It is recommended not to park on the pavement but it doesn't yet attract a fine within law as such although of course it may attract a fine for actually blocking the pathway to pedestrians or wheelchair users. I think you have grounds to appeal if ,by parking fully on the road you are blocking the right of way of any of the emergency services and therefore are acting in the interests of safety.Yeah it is a council one.

Plus of course if all the houses are 3 bed or more and there is only off road parking for one vehicle what the bloody hell do they expect ?
Cul-de-sacs are notorious for this, simply because there is less room to park.
I think someone has already mentioned emergency access and some of the new estates would be gridlocked unless some did park on the kerb - basic issue is cars per household has gone up appreciably but developers only have to provide in some cases two spaces - may a garage a one other or two long spaces
A lot of the garages aren't even big enough to fit a modern car in - they're just there to tick the box. They are effectively a store room.

I've been wondering about having the ground floor of houses just being a garage with living space above, especially in places which could have a flooding problem. Another option is MSCP's between rows of houses as residential parking, although it would need a special key/fob etc to ensure security.
Garage thing rings true, ours is big enough to drive into but only so long as you don't have people trying to get out on both sides of the car.
