Parking across drives

[AllisonAdler]

As someone who would never even think to park across someone else's drive, I find it very trying that this person has not only done so, but is nowhere to be found, is out of earshot, and after over thirty minutes, still has not moved!! Very poor.

Think this is one thing that enforcement officers are keen on.  Please report

Ha! It was a Dulwich mummy who parked for nearly three hours, who has blocked our drive before, and pretended not to have noticed that she’d parked across the drive. Really!

That is beyond inconsiderate and they deserve a ticket.

I get St. Anthony's parents parking across my drive all the time, also visitors to Barry House.

It is ironic that parents of children whose lungs we are meant to be saving are sometimes the worst offenders. I also wonder how many will also fly off for their holidays this summer.

Very vexing!

That’s such a depressing photo with so many cars blocking the pavement, isn’t it illegal in London?

No, not on roads designated as having pavement parking (there are a handful, typically in very narrow two-way residential roads quite far from any public transport where car ownership may particularly necessary e.g. for elderly or infirm residents ). I recognise this as one of them. Otherwise Southwark officials are particularly keen on booking cars with even part of one tyre on the pavement.

The sense of entitlement is in the marque of car.

Just to annoy - and it is the 'unentitled' marque of car (and their owners) which the ULEZ extension is particularly targeting - modest (working) people with modest cars aren't wanted here. Only the wealthy, with expensive modern cars. You might argue.

Please tell us how many (out of ten) cars are currently compliant?

When I was at university, the facilities staff used to put warning notices on the windscreens of cars that were parked inconsiderately. These notices were printed on very sticky full A4 sized labels and were a nightmare to peel off, especially if it had rained after the sheet had been stuck to the windscreen. Just saying.....
