I just got a PCN for parking next to a so-called dropped footway in Crawthew Road. Can anyone tell me what this "footway" is used for? It can't be for a driveway cos there's no gate. It can't be to assist pedestrians or wheelchairs to cross the road cos there's no dropped footway on the other side of the road. If someone could please enlighten me as to how I was endangering or obstructing anyone, I'll take back my words, stop being upset, and humbly pay the fine...

Doesn't matter to the best of my knowledge, the offence of parking there has nothing to do with it's use (or lack of).


although thinking on I'm sure there's something about if someone is blocking a private driveway some kind of complaint has to be made.


Or all the above may be nonsensse...

Well being a wheelchair user I am glad that cars are being ticketed for parking in front of dropped footways. It is so difficult getting around as it is that when I come up against cars parked in front of often the only means of crossing the road, my heart sinks. It is difficult for people to empathise with disabled people if they don't know someone in this situation but take it from me it is hard. People often don't realise the implications of blocking or using a disabled persons only means of getting around and whilst you might not see how a dropped foot way could be useful it is not your place to judge.

Hi again...I'm having to eat humble pie...and apologies to "Lumps"...I went back today to take photos etc. and there IS a dropped footway on the other side! Guess why I hadn't seen it yesterday? Because a car was parked on it!! So I will pay my fine peacefully...it woz a fair cop, guv!

Thanks for your comments...I learnt a lot about DFs last night, and will never park adjacent to one ever again!

Without wanting to sound condescending 'Thank you'. I know it can be hard to admit when we have made a mistake and I really appreciate your apology. It is hard being disabled in an able bodied world and at times it is made harder by people who don't realise that a simple thing like parking in front of a DF can cause so much difficulty. I have not been disabled all my life and was only too guilty of doing the same thing myself. Anyway thanks again.

Today, I paid to get a ticket to park (legally) from a ticket machine (?2.20 for each hour on a road not in Sloane Square, but...off the Old Kent Road!!!) I put ?4.00 in and got my ticket, and my money came back as well!!

Well, wot would you have done??!

Did I drop anything?

    • First of all, conversations with people who aren't Corbyn supporters are obviously going to tell you why those people didn't vote for him, aren't they? Second (and I don't know why I have to keep on saying this) the electoral system worked against him in terms of seats lost. If you look at the actual numbers of votes per party, yes Labour was behind, but not by as much as it appeared if just seats were counted. Thirdly, that poll was of "nearly 500" people who stopped voting Labour. That's not a very big sample, is it? Of those, 35% said it was because of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership (i.e. 65% had other reasons). Even upping the numbers to  500 people, 35% is 175. 10,269,051  people did actually vote Labour in that election. It's a long time since I used statistics for anything, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think anything you have said is "evidence"!
    • Dog kennel isn't a great name for a school. I agree that it's ridiculous for the name to put anyone off going there, but don't see any issue with them rebranding if the parents and children prefer a new name. The school is surrounded by historical 'groves' (reflected in the names of Camberwell Grove, Grove park and Grove Vale for example), so it's not a totally random name. 
    • It might help if there are body cams to record evidence and a presence maybe a deterrent but I very much doubt a park warden would intervene with obnoxious and violent thugs - children or not. We need police for that.  
    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!
