Discussion

Go on then - Lets hear it !! (taps fingers )
Ok, My drive has a dropped kerb and my business resides from my home. The council kindly put in DYL's to protect the drive and my business visitors.There only 2 spaces left in the road are taken by the new development over the road, 2012 built ours were 1939 but our drives went in 2011. And the council have had 60% of the roads in the development removed by monitored and enforced DYL's
Like I said I had mine enforced and protected but people still park even though there is a camera monitoring 4 roads, but if they get fined across me they moan the next lines are 3 doors up and are a bus stop but they stop there also and moan to the occupants that they had them fined, but we are not the council.
The people from the new estate are good and park where they can so are not an issue.
Anything else you need to know?

Park illegally and get fined, the question was would you have a go at the person or business in front of the lines? Yes or No?
Not a hard question?
How odd a statement?

I think it was a facetious question because your post is difficult to understand. Perhaps a photo or two of the double yellow lines might help to illustrate the problem.
Fair enough,
The Double yellows and the dropped kerb are protected as are all the ones in the vicinity, the camera is monitoring 4 side roads. And as you can see 2 doors up is a bus stop.
Simple in my book. Again the question was would you get angry with the residents if you got fined? And this is my issue people getting angry with residents when they parked illegally.
Forgive the Volvo it is a warranty supplied car, ok in parts but the driving position is rubbish.
To keep it PH like.

So the council not only painted double-yellow lines next to your dropped kerb, which is rare, but also felt the need to put a street camera in to enforce this.
Either they feel that your driveway is of vital importance to the community or you've given them a back-hander.
Did you miss the bit that stated it is my Business location, the only reason the Volvo is on the drive and not in the garage is a stipulation of the warranty company and I have already deferred my business visitors until Tuesday.Either they feel that your driveway is of vital importance to the community or you've given them a back-hander.
The camera is to monitor 4 streets and was put out for consultation, as they the council made a mistake when they allowed the new estate.
The ensuing police visits to the new estate meant the council had to act
I knew it would affect me and my business to lobbied my MP to get the DYL's.
I have only had one person moan but the people with the bus stop yellow lines have had lots even though the lines have been there 25 years that I know of but only enforced since 2016 so this year.
Hence my question.

its a slightly pointless post from the OP, who then argues with himself really.
there's some DYL, yes don't park on them.
as for working from home, it's irrelvant. If you have a business with a considerable amount of customers and vehicles to your door, who can't park because you live on a street with no parking, yr living in the wrong place or working from the wrong place.
Personally I wouldn't want to live on a street where friends, family cannot park easily when they come to call. Or indeed even has traffic driving along it.
I agree totally and I have made a mess of my replies and the OP, but I stayed away due to the anger of some posters.there's some DYL, yes don't park on them.

But I do have parking for my clients / Family and that would be my drive with a dropped kerb. My own car lives in the garage at the rear of my property. The pictures supplied were I suppose incorrect as that was a hire car but my own is broken in the garage until Monday when it goes to in for repairs.
1 year ago there was ample on street parking but due to the fights, and police presence in the new development across the road they (The council) decided to DYL all side streets so as said before 30% of cars use the only on street parking and over the dropped kerbs or as some did and still do on the drives of people without bollards. As there is not enough spaces for the displaced vehicles.
But like I said also I have only been confronted once, but my 2 friends who for 25 years has had a bus stop outside their houses have been harassed numerous times due to the council fining them either manually or as it is now with a camera.
Who me said:
IMHO- it's not pointless -it's a measure of today's society and driving .I've got a large sign outside my house( on the road in large WHITE letters) saying "DISABLED". One afternoon I came home to find a BSM car parked half on pavement ,half off and blocking my parking space. Wife asked Instructor to move, to be told, when the Instructor remarked he'd not noticed sign. Confirmed my opinion of some driving schools "BLIND TEACHING THE BLIND".
One of the prolific blockers that I had to get to move before the Council put in the camera told me her instructor said it was ok to park and block someone in, they will ask you to move. So to you I agree.One thing I have learnt from this thread is that sometimes we / I explain incorrectly and it comes across like an ass, for that I am sorry.
Sometimes someones gets angry and I retaliate, again for that I am sorry.
Kind regards
