Parking ticket query?

[elanfan]

If the google image link above is still correct there's plenty of street parking without yellow lines. You must have parked on one of the corners where the lines have been painted to prevent obstruction to access and egress from the car parks. Looks like you parked like a muppet so whinging about it here is a bit much really?

Do councils have to define on a website somewhere what counts as loading/unloading?

I've found some traffic wardens to actually be OK Human beings and others to be complete and utter jobsworths.

There is never any legal road spaces available during the day (i guess staff to all the units use them) so only option if car park is full is to park on the yellows, or wait on the yellows for someone to leave....

Anyway its only £35, and ultimately less than that as will be a business expense, so no great deal.

Was just questioning the wording.

It should be defined in the TRO (Traffic Regulation Order) which sets out the parking restrictions for the area.

Generally defined as something too large/bulky/heavy to be able to be carried by one person to a nearby parking space.

Not in the 3 nearest councils to me. They just say goods, including letters.

Double yellow lines mean no parking..

Sorry to be pedantic, but you missed out the qualification " unless by a blue badge holder" .

Sorry to be pedantic, but you missed out the qualification " . . . and no restriction on loading/unloading" .

I quote from the ticket"parked in a restricted area" - NO mention of "no loading " on the ticket, or indeed on any of the fisrt post.

AIUI fines aren't tax deductible.

It's no stopping, waiting or parking, unless it's one of the allowed exemptions (blue badge, loading/unloading and a couple of others such as breakdown services and road works). but generally put on the PCN as 'parked' as that's what the officer sees when no one is in the car and they don't witness loading.

Not quite sure what happened with the quoting there, sorry

Unless it is from a private firm (yes, I know it is a charge) clarified by, it seems

Not exactly, even if can't offset it against corp tax bill (thats up to my accountant), its still rather preferable for my business to pay it rather than me personally...
