Is there any way of requesting the removal of a dropped kerb? (I imagine there is no budget for this..). At the bottom of Worlingham Rd there is an old one that used to be next to gates but they have now been replaced with a brick wall (same one Lynne?) and has been marked for yellow lines. It?s within a few meters of a pedestrian dropped kerb so no need for it at all and would have a big impact on my usual parking spots if enforced.
A friend got a ticket for being parked adjacent to a dropped footway in Whorlton Rd a few weeks ago. When I checked the car was parked 10m from a 1m wide dropped pedestrian kerb. I suspect Southwark or their enforcement officers have been told to target dropped footways, and in our case just target any car in the close vicinity in the hope that people will blindly pay.

If I may suggest heading over to http://forums.pepipoo.com


Scan in both sides of the PCN from Southwark, block our your reg number / personal details - register on the forum for free and post what you've posted here and they will help you out.


There are many experts who will help you and certainly tell you if you have a case.



It seems most councils just reject appeals by default - the cynic in me sees that as an attempt to deter appellants from continuing - as many would be spooked and pay up after the informal appeal.


Anyway - the guys over there have helped me succesfully appeal most PCNS I have received over the years and also a couple of towings that happened several years back.

Yes. It's that place that's full of people who are surprised when they get ticketed for parking where they shouldn't.

Thanks dougiefreeman that?s a great tip. Will see what response I get on there. It?s such a complicated area so it will be great to get some expert opinions. I would just pay up if I thought I?d definitely committed an enforceable offence but the lack of yellow line or tactile paving suggests that this is not enforceable under Southwark?s own policies.

    • I think the only way to sort this is to ban loud fireworks for private sale (and preferably ban fireworks altogether except for public displays). I don't know whether that has implications I'm not aware of eg I have no idea how many people are involved in firework manufacture.
    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.
