Zetterlund Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 4 hours ago, alta-pete said: Used to chief, used to. I'm afraid the LEZ finally ground me into submission. I'm in Glasgow a fair bit for work and parking on the fringes of the city centre and walking in actually felt quite virtuous last summer. Doing that for six months of winter, invariably turning up to meetings soaked, and I'm afraid the novelty wore off very quickly. And because of the LEZ in Glasgow, and its imminent arrival in the other cities, values were dropping like a stone so, with a very heavy heart, I'm afraid it had to go. So the eco-zealots win and I've ordered a hybrid that actually I wouldn't otherwise have needed. My gas guzzler went to a dealer down Preston way where it will continue to provide its apparently noxious but hugely comfortable transport for some lucky bugger for many years and miles to come. The silliest thing about the LEZs is that someone could trade in their banned but extremely efficient modern diesel car for a near-20 year old V8 petrol Range Rover, which is obviously much better for the environment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not bring skin colour into it. Maybe take a look at the poster that did as skin colour has absolutely nothing to do with bad driving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 I'm nominating Edinburgh Council, shirking their responsibilities. You have to write to people in England to appeal a parking ticket in Edinburgh. A PO Box at Lowton Way, Hellaby, Sheffield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets face it, Edinburgh lovely city though it is basically little England North of the Border where a lot of counts don't even acknowledge their next door neighbours.

Are you honestly surprised? I find that the best way to scare the living keech out of folk from Edinburgh is to say "hello" as you walk past them, without ever having been formally introduced. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 13 hours ago, scottsdad said: I parked my motor on my street but there are new parking rules. Me/my neighbours are getting parking tickets for something we didn't know about. I understand now it is about parking in front of a curb that has been lowered. The new rule must have happened at the same time as parking on pavements. I emailed Ben Macpherson MSP and complained and his office replied saying they didn't know why I got a ticket but gave me the email for my local Councillors. I got a reply from Cllr Jack Caldwell (Lib Dem) he didn't understand why but willing to help and from Cllr McNeese-Mechan (SNP) she was the same and willing to help. The Green and Labour ones haven't replied. I'm just moaning like fcuk! It's a £50 fine! Parking outside my front door! Been parking there for 20 years! If the Local Councillors don't understand why we are getting tickets then how are people in Sheffield going to decide if our appeals are okay or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was already illegal to park in front of an official dropped kerb? (As opposed to one done for a driveway or with something to allow a car to bump up). I think like parking in front of a fire hydrant sign, it wasn't often enforced but still technically verboten? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
