    I don't know what the actual solution is - bollards where they don't want cars parking? Self ticketing?

    Double kerb, it's what councils do, & also prevents people from driving onto verges/pavements, & can make it difficult to park alongside (more likely to catch your doors on it)

    Assigning spaces to each residence, & then building in some short-term visitor spaces away from the residents spaces (for genuine visitors, deliveries etc.)

    To be fair, parking is a bit dodgy there. As I said - people have 2 cars and 1 space. Not rocket science to work out there might be a problem.

    However, there are also sensible unmarked places to park throughout the estate. It just didn't make sense to bring in a PPC.

    Herz.... I think I will reply with pretty much that. PPC on a private housing estate is wrong.

    Not sure where I read it, but a snippet somewhere suggested the upcoming Government Review output would specifically cover PPC engagement on housing developments.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.
