Thanks Billy, cleveland street is on of those very long street and i can pinpoint his place on it sadly.

i'm infuriated that the judge has denied him the right to appeal and justified it by saying "at least if saves you the very costly process of a full appeal" WTF?!?!?!? How is that a fair thing to do?

He could have avoided a lot of wasted time and money by parking in the free cycle bay. I have no sympathy.

You sir, are a ...
I'll maybe forgive you for being from Brum and not experienced a London Parking bay. You might as well throw your bike in a skip & then come back for it at the end of the day for the condition it will be in.
Taken to it's conclusion you wouldn't be allowed to park on your own driveway - for someone to say oh it's alright just park it out on the street wtf.

The sort of land described is often open to the public. If there are public rights of way over the land then a ticket would be right, for obstructing the public access. I wonder whether he had a Highways Act notice up - you can put up a notice saying that it is not intended that the public should obtain rights of way. Section 32 Highways Act 1980 from memory.

My drive is open to the road. I don't own just the subsoil, I own the surface too, I don't see how some plank could give me a ticket there.

According to the article Ed, he had! I dont know if he'd quoted the Act itself or not but he had also demarcated the area with potted plants.

He's lucky he didnt get busted for dealing class B drugs.

But seriously----Theres people who are prepared to fight mindless authority and this guy seems to be one.Good for him.Shame there arent more like him.
But the majority are just the downtrodden compliant(horrible word)lumpen who can always think of a reason not to object to the whims of the authoritarians,

Agree BB, i with we'd known about this guys stand before now. What we could have done apart from give him some moral support tho i dont know.

He should rip up the paving stones that someone put on his land. Then park on his topsoil, job done!

omg

why not, allthough then they would say he was illegally transporting his bike over the pavement to get to his parking spot/subsoil. lol
