samssong Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I have always thought that it was illegal to park on pavements, in fact over my long driving career I am certain that I have heard of drivers being fined for parking with two wheels on the kerb. I have also heard of drivers being fined for parking more than nine inches away from the kerb edge. However there is currently a bill going through Parliament notably the 'Pavement Parking (Protection of Vulnerable Pedestrians) Bill 2015-16' so an end to your problem may be in sight. We live on a bus route and if we all did not park with two wheels on the pavement the bus would not get through. This includes people with blue badges. A few of us have had mirrors smashed and scraped paintwork due to this . The pavements are six foot wide so plenty of room for all to get by. If we have to park fully on the road that is the end of the bus route a route used by many disabled passengers in our district . The nearest car park is a mile away and charges .
