A lot of people are too scared or just do not have time to actually fight a parking or a Road traffic fine received in the post.

There are lots of laws that do protect you, as with receiving the ticket on time, the pictures or video taken that can actually cancel a ticket. However on that is more usual than the normal council is that of private firms at the Supermarkets.

Well let me tell you if you receive a fine on private ground such as supermarkets, they are not fines, they are invoices, and cannot be enforced by law at all. The companies that are subcontracted by they supermarkets may put a ticket on your car, but have no rights in law to collect the money.

They use methods that are really scary, by using debt collector, who again have no rights, and if they overstep their mark can be actually shut down.

These parking companies use the ignorance of the people to intimidate until payment is received.

The only way any of these tickets can be valid is, if these companies take you to court at a cost with their solicitors, and if you have proof you shopped in the store, you can only be charged ?2.00 if nothing at all.

The company knows this, and will intimidate you, but will never take you to court as the costs outweigh what they would receive.

Never ever pay these tickets which are in a fact an invoice. They are not LAW.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By Sue · Posted

      You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.

      Forest Hill Road Group Practice, Patient Participation Group (PPG), Next Meeting, 6:30pm, Thursday 23rd January 2025

      I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Sue · Posted

      Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
