Council ignoring parking situation

It was done by the council. He is certain that it cannot be enforced and invited neighbours to use it when he was on holiday.If he (or somebody for him) just went out there and slapped some paint on the road, then - no - it's not in the slightest enforceable, and could even be construed as criminal damage.
Only the council can dedicate a disabled space, which requires a TRO, and is then available for anybody with a disabled badge to use.
Just had a google. It seems he could be right and they can be done without a TRO.

It does seem that the requirement to show a blue badge (in bold at the foot of this page) only applies to formal bays.0 -
To be fair there isn't a lot they can do in the cul de sac as there isn't much room. However, there is a bit of scrap land that has scruffy bushes all over it at the side of the cul de sac, that could easily house 12-15 cars, but when they mention this to the council, it just falls on deaf ears.
My cousin and her neighbours are thinking converting the piece of scrap land themselves LOL.
The land might not belong to the council which might be why they are not doing anything about it.0 -

If the Council is involved it is a 'solution' costing money; the Council being publicly funded. Any subsequent enforcement would also have ramifications for the public purse. These are constrained times; the Council is right to prioritise appropriately, which it is.Mornië utulië0
