    unable to start a new thread so will attach my problem here in the hope of a response.

    I have had a similar situation where Bromley council have managed to put 2 tickets on my fathers disabled registered car outside my home in the space of 15 hours. So they put a ticket on the car at 8pm and then again at 11am the next morning.

    The problem is I live in Lewisham borough and have parked vehicles in the spot for the past 3 years and all of a sudden start receiving sudden parking tickets from Bromley borough.

    I am appealing the ticket as I feel this is unjust and out of order from Bromley council and also from Lewisham borough as there has been no correspondents from both councils about any changes in traffic law on the street or even that half my street is in another borough.

    What does it say on the traffic signs about parking restrictions?

    Look at the top left of the forum, there's a box marked "new thread"
    I suggest a post on the parking forum will get more responses as it could get missed here.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
