    It stays they for good? Unless you complain however it’s good to have one near by.. also you can uses it. They no fines on them ones. I’d uses it as your own parking bar

    Have you had a late night and have you read the other posts as it seems the fines would depend on the council

    I got a response back from the council. They assured me that we'll still have the same amount of spaces (don't know how that's possible but whatever) and if the bay is no longer needed, the team will be informed and take appropriate action. I have my doubts but little I can do.

    Just have to keep pushing them regarding us getting our own parking spaces (grass verge needs removing or moving back)

    Ask them if there is a TRO


    The markings on the road aren't the key thing. If there is a TRO there should be a sign on a little pole (or attached to a wall).


    If there is no TRO, there is no sign, there is no reason you can't park there
    Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.

    You'd think a bit of paint should be cheap, but creating or removing a disabled bay costs the council a ridiculous amount of money. I guess it's the paperwork....

    Get some black masonry paint and cover it up; job's a goodun.


    What about the sign? Which without is would be an advisory bay only.
