It's illegal if they don't own the part of the pavement where the tables and chairs are. Some places put tables and chairs out and see if they can get away with it. Some places don't care if they block the pavement either, which is especially hazardous for blind and partially sighted people, and folk in wheelchairs. Best to check with Southwark council to see is that what they are doing is within the law.

Just how, head banging, demented does someone have to be to post about a long standing restaurant having some tables outside ? Pavement isn't even narrow there


Sit outside franklins on a summers evening and enjoy your life


Posting about niceness and legality? Dead inside


Basically the original post reads like someone with a personal grudge

Really? Check with the council? Let's all wear high viz vests if we drink or eat on the pavements...


Seriously, we live in an area with very few places to eat and drink outside. Just relax and enjoy it.

If you look at the OP's history, she is disabled, so perhaps she finds the tables outside the restaurant obstructive. That is why I suggested she check with the council. Not sure what the high viz remark has to do with anything, especially not in the case of someone with vision problems.

Actually, we passed by there tonight, and there appeared to be about double the number of tables outside than there used to be.


Most of the pavement outside Franklins is now taken up by tables, and if for example you had a wide double buggy I think it would be quite hard to squeeze through the remaining narrow space with it.


Glad they are doing so well that they need so many outside tables, but also surprised they are allowed to have them.


ETA: We walked through side by side and I was quite worried I might knock over somebody's glass of wine as the "gangway" was so small.

Ha really?!? In what dictionary? Talking about someone?s spelling is not bullying. Criticising someone?s spelling is not bullying.


She made two trivial statements, one that it was not nice (which is opinion) and one which stated that it was illegal (which was incorrect). My statement was continuing the triviality of the original post.

Have to agree with Sue, I walked through "the gap" and it was narrow enough to get my rucksack caught on one of the chairs - I would consider myself to be pretty skinny as well.




Aside from people mocking the OP's spelling and blunt question she/he does raise a valid point, If you have a buggy, are disabled/ in a wheelchair then there would have been no way to get through unless you went onto the road....

"Where the pavement concerned is part of the public highway or the public have access over, a licence will need to be obtained. This is to ensure that adequate space is available for the safe and free movement of all highway users."

Why not go into Franklins and ask to see their table and chair licence. If they can have 6 chairs and they have 12 then it is clearly illegal for the additional chairs.

From my experience of outdoor eating is that many places have their exterior chairs and tables placed inside a very defined area usually marked out by a brightly coloured ground to waist high plastic 'wall' which is taken in when premises are closed. I do find it odd that people at Franklins want to sit right at the kerb side of LL eating and drinking with all the traffic fumes etc

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
