nutty Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Grrr - Mrs Nutty got one yesterday for having half of one wheel on the kerb by Brockwell park. Had paid for pay and display space but as it was a low kerb hadn't noticed she'd not parked too neatly. ?120 fine under the "Parking on a public footway offence". Why do I get the feeling that this parking offence wasn't created for reasons like this?

GrahamP Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Nutty,I also picked up a ticket in Chestnut Road with one wheel about an inch on the kerb. The height of the kerb was less than half an inch and I failed to notice it. After allowing time for my blood pressure to subside a bit I wrote a letter and was let off. Worth a try to save a lot of money - you have nothing to lose.Send a PM if you need more info.Good luck,Graham Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3353-more-parking-tickets-moaning/#findComment-104863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidKruger Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I had the same parking ticket a couple of weeks ago on Sunday near Dulwich Park, the road I think is called Gallery Road (goes past Belair House).Dulwich Park car park was full so we drove around and Gallery Road was empty, there was a sign showing cars parked half on pavement which I took to mean we can do that there. 3 hrs later on my return, a ticket. I was the only car with a ticket, the other 20-30 cars (which had arrived after me) had missed the traffic warden !Apparently the sign indicated you can only park half on pavement BEHIND the sign, not in front of the sign.Oh fair enough then, here's ?60.

LibraCarr Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hi,There is a website which will advise and help you in avoiding parking tickets. The best way to find it is Google it.I was fined for picking up my wife outside a shop that she had come out of. The camera spotted me and a ticket was issued. Sixty pounds is what they demand, if you want to appeal it then goes into the ?120 brcket (good eh), I paid the ?60 and appealed, this was dismissed. Having taken advice from the website advised them that they had acted illegally as I had not parked my car as I had not exited it. They chose to ignore my recorded delivered letter.I took it to the small claims court and recovered my money plus costs plus interest!I love it when a plan comes together.Regards,Libra Carr.
