PARKING ENFORCEMENT IN AND AROUND HERNE HILL (LAMBETH)
The issue of over zealous ticketing by Herne Hill station was taken up by Peter O'Connell at the end of March and since then Pullen's has reporetd that tradespeople have been allowed the customary time to make delivieries whilst on approriately marked double yellow lines.
Reporting this to Peter this week produced the following response.
Thanks for the information. It's rewarding to learn of this feedback.
Just a day before my electoral death, I ended correspondence with the Parking Service on Alan's case and the wider issue that I'd be banging on about for two years that the council's communication with the motoring public was akin to a parlour game: Road-users weren't warned where are the traps until they land on one and are penalised.
I received a promise that there will be a regular newsletter, to be posted to permit-holders, on the range of parking rules to smash certain myths while explaining the logical detail behind restrictions. Equally, there needs to be an honest explanation of what is permissible.
In return, I gave the officers in election week a six-page summary I wrote for the Parking Scrutiny Commission of case law pertaining to parking regulations. I suggested it as a guide to the issues that people want explained to them.
Hope you're keeping well,
Peter
