You have all seen and probably been annoyed by council vehicles parked on the pavement which you know is wrong and a case of do what I say not as I do.

| A Hackney Council vehicle illegally parked on the pavement. |
In this case Hackney Council issued a PCN to Hackney Council. Could councils have budget pressures because they are wasting money? This would suggest so.
The internal wrestling match went the distance with the PCN being challenged and a formal Notice of Rejection being issued. Hackney Council then started an Appeal against the actions of Hackney Council for which Hackney Council paid a fee of about £30 and following the creation of an evidence pack by Hackney Council of probably 50 pages Hackney Council won and Hackney council lost. A score draw of a sort. In the alternative, a definition of futility.
Here is the decision.
Looking at the width of the road there was no need to put the van's wheels on the pavement in the first place as the road is wide enough for cars at least to pass in both directions simultaneously.
A lesson for all readers. Stay off the pavement in your car, it is for pedestrians & wheelchairs users (and sometimes cyclists).
The end.
