Pavement parking to be banned across the UK? Better tell that to the Police, who regularly turn up to force people to park on the pavement if a bus can’t get through.
I myself was once under the misapprehension that pavement parking was already illegal, until a Police officer threatened to tow my car away if I didn’t move it onto the pavement.
I later discovered that they were not acting in accordance with any law whatsoever, but were simply applying pressure on individual residents, rather than acknowledging that our road is too narrow to serve as a bus route.
As usual, individuals are penalised for poor urban planning.
