Why am I wrong? I don't think they can enforce it. It's a scare tactic which might work.

I am not wrong to say that I don't think the tickets are legally enforceable. That is the issue. Anyone out there who has got a ticket and who has paid it? Having people patrolling is one thing but collecting money is something else entirely. If they made all the spaces the same size then this problem wouldn't exist. What should people who might be disabled, say with a broken leg, ankle etc. and who doesn't have a blue badge do?

but there may also an issue over whether they can in practice enforce if they don't know who their agreement is with - any contract would be formed with the driver (not the registered keeper) so unless they know who the driver is they can't enforce it


this is why if you get a letter asking for money in relation to e.g. overstaying at morrison's in peckham if you ignore it it goes away

cate - you said the tickets were not legally enforceable. That's wrong because there is a valid contract, and a valid contract is by definition legally enforceable. In practice, it may be difficult or undesirable to seek to enforce but that doesn't mean that it can't be enforced.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      What would you have done differently, Rockets? I cannot, for the life of me, think of a financial strategy that would have satisfied 'working people' and businesses and driven growth and reduced the deficit. But I'm no economist. On another note, since we're bashing Labour, one thing that really got my goat was Labour's reaction to  Kemi Badenoch being elected leader of the opposition. When our own dear Ellie Reeves was asked for her reaction to KB's election, the first thing she said was "I'm proud that she's the first black woman to lead a political party, but..." Congratulating someone for being black (she's Nigerian FFS, not 'black') and female is such an insult. You'd be forgiven for thinking that that's all Labour sees... and it completely detracts from her achievements as a politician. It's almost as if they were implying that she'd done well in spite of her race and sex. If that's not racist... I think Kemi is an absolute nut job. People in her own party have said she'd start a brawl in an empty room and would cross the street to bite your ankle. But that kind of makes me like her. And if anyone can hold Labour's feet to the fire, she can.  (Ex labour party member here, who voted Keir for leader of the party, BTW, in case anyone wants to start a pile-on and call me a Tory lover).

      Their comms has been diabolical. The "son of a toolmaker" and "working people" soundbites may have placated an electorate before an election but they will come back to haunt you after it and will bite you hard if things don't go well.  If they don't improve things soon it is going to be a long parliament for them and there are no signs things are getting better. Amazing as they had 14 years to prepare for this but being in opposition is far, far easier than running a country.

      Or turning left,  continuing on down Forest Hill Road and turning right further up.  Google maps has Dulwich marked at the junction by the old Grove, where the South Circular heads off towards the rest of Dulwich. But whatever, yes you can definitely get to Dulwich by going in the direction shown on the signpost! I'm not sure you would get "anywhere" by going straight down, though, let alone 23 miles down 🤣 I like the "Now here" though!

      There is no doubt that Labour's doom mongering when it came into office spooked the markets. Plenty of analysts and businesses said so pre-budget. And why the budget was leaked so much before its announcement, I do not know. Honestly, whoever is in charge of comms really needs to get the boot.  I am so sick of hearing them bang on about 14 years of Tory decay - Labour repeatedly pressed the Tories for longer, more astringent lockdowns. It's largely thanks to the furlough scheme that we're in so much debt. I was such a staunch lockdown supporter at the time and now, looking back, it seems draconian. We're still paying the price in so many ways.
