I'm not sure what either of you guys are referring to? I was observing that the best strategy for avoiding payment was Chick's rather than Huntaaar. I was also criticising the warden's behaviour.


Quids, I agree that the LA want your money (although I disagree with your attributed motivation) and for that reason Chick's approach is going to be more effective.


Jeremy I agree with you, and for that reason Chick's approach is going to be more effective.


(As it happens Quids I can't agree with you that parking management is about revenue generation, as according to Southwark's figures the 8.9m cost of maintaining and running traffic & parking management schemes far outstrips the 1.1m in revenue they generate. QED they ain't about money, but about punishing selfish drivers who abuse both their neighbours and their environment).

Where is the source of this info? Sounds highly dubious that the cost of issuing and processing a ticket would be that much (8 x ?60 = ?480). It certainly shouldn't be the case...

The 8.9m is for "traffic transport and parking" which surely covers much more than just traffic and parking enforcement! This doesn't really give us an indication as to the costs of traffic and parking management alone. I don't really have the time to search for evidence, but I am far from convinced.


I'm not amongst those who believe that parking tickets are a "cash cow", but I do believe that the commission-based systems in use results in unfair or unjustified tickets. And even if the council don't profit from it, others clearly do.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • 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
