Parking help please

Don't forget that the keeper cannot be held liable because the scammers failed to comply with an act of parliament which is the law.

Stop thinking like a driver who might have done something wrong.
Start thinking like the keeper, who could have been at home, or in hospital, or the other side of the world.
Get angry with the scammers who lied to the UK government and convinced them to introduce a law that could make someone liable even if they weren't in the car at the time. The UK is the only country in the world that allows this to happen. It's a crazy law, and it is most unfair.

You were the keeper at the time of the alleged event, but the scammers failed to transfer liability to you because they failed the PoFA.

Don't be that person who comes here and actually thinks they have to pay £160. If you think that you haven't read any Smart or CST threads!

Sorry but yes it is , anti spam measures , so no , not stupid at all

Pm Soolin or Savvy to edit your posts for you until the edit button appears , possibly when you have doubled or tripled your post count , 14 posts is nowhere near

I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this but any help appreciated.

The council have recently converted a free parking bay outside my property to loading only. Loading only is painted on the road but the sign had restriction times (6-9pm & 6-9am). See image. Does the sign mean you can park there as normal outside of those times? The council are being frustratingly woolly on the issue. Thanks for any advice.

No , wrong place

Join pepipoo fightback forums using a non Hotmail email address and post in the council section over there , after reading their posting rules

My take is that it is clear , loading and unloading between those times , in those 3 hour windows , for a maximum of 1 hour only ,  so no parking is allowed by that sign 

Outside of this times it is not clear if parking is or is not allowed , because that sign is silent about parking. So parking would need to be covered by a different sign altogether which we have not seen

It may be loading and unloading only now , with restrictions on the time allowed between the times shown , limiting the loading to one hour between those times and unlimited time at all other times

But you have hijacked a thread by another member here , strictly forbidden !!

My take is that parking is forbidden between 10 am and 6 pm but it is unclear.

Isn't that a contradiction - they haven't received an appeal within 28 days, but they're considering an appeal and will respond within 35 days? Have I missed something earlier in your thread - I haven't been back through all the 38 posts.

It may be as I have emailed them first, then appealed shortly after. Not too sure. 
Yes does seem contradicting.
