Legal to walk onto your property to give your car a ticket?
Discussion
Sister in law had her car in the drive with the nose sticking out onto the pavement (Yaris!). She got a ticket for presumably blocking the path. My FiL is asking if it is legal for the warden to walk onto their property and put the ticket on the car.
I suspect he's onot a loser with that one...?

I suspect you/she may not get much sympathy, but to give some context
- why did she park obstructing the pathway?
- does she make a habit of it? Or is this the first ever time and she just got caught?
- what does the model of car matter? Whether it's 40' long or 4' long, if it's blocking 2' of pathway isn't the problem the same?

Was the reason for the ticket "obstruction of footpath"? I ask as I've mentioned here ,possibly, elsewhere certainly, the growing trend locally to park wholly on the footpath in a decrim area to foil the CEO, who have no obstruction powers. The answer I've been given is that only in London is this an offence.

Even then, how much of an overhang are we talking? I mean If I park close to the curb my wing mirror over hangs.

Short drive and so little overhang but I think the council were just on a random 'purge' and any offences were punished. Its one of those areas where, if the council give an inch the locals will take a mile. I guess she was obstructing the pavement to a degree. A number of locals do the same and effectively use the pavement as part of their drive,

Wish someone would come round mine and dole out some tickets, got a caravan protuding on to the path on one side of my house, and LWB van totally covering the path on the other side.
Good morning, Local Council wot you pays your Council Tax to, can I help you?Not too tricky to sort out is it?
