In theory, parking on the pavements shouldn't be allowed but I cannot see this being passed as law.
I don't drive, but I got a house with a drive just in case. Anyone with a normal sized garden can have a drive, I'm amazed more people don't.
Rent out your drive for weekday parking?
Corporation Street houses all have rear access available...Bit far out of town tbh. It's annoying though that some people Park work vans in the street which makes getting a fire engine down there dicey. They have front gardens but don't turn them into drives, I think if you can park on your property but instead choose to block a pavement then a fine is acceptable.
Very good point actually!Corporation Street houses all have rear access available...
Yeah but that's London. They do what they like there.It has been law in London boroughs since 1974, with very few Corporation Street style exceptions.

Fat cars
Fat fines

So
I'm of two minds about this... on one side, if you have a small drive don't be an idiot and buy a car too big for your drive. On the other it's quite petty on the fine side of things.
I dunno about that.....
In reality, yes. but my house has been turned into two flats and the rear access is really only suitable for one car. Which on the whole is fine as I don't have a car but I do have visitors, who generally park on the road.Corporation Street houses all have rear access available...
You wouldn’t even be able to get down most residential roads if people didn’t ride the pavement a little tbh. We need wider roads and more drivers before not parking on the pavement can be enforced.I have some sympathy for people in residential areas who edge on to the kerb to widen the road for emergency vehicles leaving pedestrians enough space to walk on the pavement safely!
