If you've got 2 mins & nothing better to do, watch this vid and tell me is this fair / have I got a hope in hell of winning an appeal (Have already had it rejected once, so it's round 2)

I am at Herne Hill, in the silver car, double parked basically waiting for a guy a couple of cars down to pull out of his space (he has gestured to me to say he's just loading his boot and then he'll be off). I'm desperate for his space because there are no others and I've got a heavy cage to carry into the vets right beside that row of cars and a toddler in the back. I'm there, sat in the car, for no longer than 2 minutes while the guy (who you can see moving across the page wheeling something)loads up and pulls off. I then move into his space. Job done.

A week later I get a ticket and a ?65 fine which goes up to ?130 tomorrow. I've appealed once. Rejected. Lambeth say I was causing an obstruction to vehicles and a possible obstruction to emergency vehicles (well no I'm not as you can clearly see cars passing me and it also happens to be a dead end so hardly going to have emergency vehicles trying to speed through) Seconds after the video stops I pull into the empty space but of course they don't show that bit.

What's the verdict.

Pay ?65 or appeal again?

Guilty before proven innocent is the councils way of extorting revenue for it's coffers, These enforcement cameras are nothing more than cash generators and do little to ease traffic flow or address parking issues, Fight it all the way!!

Had there been a parking warden then it would have been down to his discretion, maybe he/she would have advised you going around the block?

Not good advice because unfortunately she won't win. Whether you agree with the rules or not they were broken in this instance, so to fight it would be futile and more expensive than just paying up.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
