parking tickets on strakers road

[ow]

Just to warn everyone that parking tickets are being given out if you park on Strakers Road (road to the carpark in Peckham Rye). I received a fine of ?130 today, along with many other cars in the same row, for parking with two wheels on the pavement. In my ignorance I hadn't realised this was an offence and thought I was being considerate in trying to ensure there was still enough room for other cars to get by. So please be careful when parking there!

thanks for the heads up - look at the small print - you should pay only ?60 or ?65 (only!) if you do it within a couple of weeks

Remember the bit of the driving test when the instructor asked you to park with 2 wheels on the road? Good times

Why is it considerate to give space to other cars but removed it from pedestrians?

Why do you need to be fined to make you aware of this?

Yeah agree with Strafer stop whinging and take the medicine.

Inconsiderate Drivers do this, I walk with an Metal aid if I have the option of trying to pass a car that is parked on the pavement close to a wall, I can take a risk and it takes time for me to get in the road, the road being very busy, and trundle past, or squeeze through the tight space left for me to get through, I would not intentionally damage a car but if it did get damaged then I would not feel guilty.

As I see it the driver has taken a risk the same as if he had parked on a yellow line.

Is this why we've started to get cars actually parking on the grass verge on the bike/pedestrian path - i.e not the path down to the car park but the bollarded off path? It's beginning to pi** me off. Surely its illegal? Anyone know for sure?

Why do people feel the need to park there anyway? I went down on Friday afternoon, after school, and the park, of course, was heaving with people enjoying the sun. Happy days. The car park was busy, yes, but still spaces. But there must have been 10 or so cars parked along Straker road (as well as the camper van advertising the comedy club).

Just you wait till those Spooks types come back to the Rye - you'll get more than a ticket then :)
