Hi
I'm looking for advice on pavement parking, I am disabled and use a mobility scooter for any outdoor excursions inc` dotcors , shops etc
seems Rugby has a lot of people who think its ok to block the pavement completely with their vehicles.

Situation update as from this morning a 11.00 a.m : -
despite NSL agreeing to send one of their "representatives" to start issuing penalty notices, nothing has happened, I felt compelled to telephone Rugby council customer services as I had received no response to my second email where I asked them to clarify their position .
I was really fortunate as the head of customer services was " manning" the telephone, ...0...o...
She now agrees with my assertion that it IS their responsibility as a civil enforcement authority, WOW....!
My suggestion of a simple letter to all their customers outlining the legalities concerning pavement parking was agreed on....another WOW.....
I will also now be getting updates from the council as and when anything happens because I "escalated" the issue to a complaint, ..really...?
I know this is not just a Rugby issue, it is nationwide, it may seem like a lot of effort , but in reality, it took me a couple of emails, a couple of telephone calls, and two days to get the council to admit to , and act accordingly.
I would absolutely love other people to do this in their own local areas to "spread the word"..it would not take too long, or too many fines to bring about a simple change of attitude to something affecting a large amount of people,
Just remember to always be polite, honest,...oh, did I mention patient ? hahahaha,
Anyone that needs any information on this subject for their own local area, please do feel free to ask me and I`ll give the details of who, how, where to start,
sorry it`s a little long winded, but I`m no typist, or legal secretary, Just a guy who knows his rights, thanks for reading,
any further developments, I`ll post for reference and I promise they wont be like another edition of war and peace.
kind regards
