One of the most annoying situations you sometimes find your
selves in is when you cannot get on or off your dropped curb because of an
inconsiderate driver who is blocking it with their parked vehicle.
From 1 June 2009, local authorities have new powers under
the Traffic Management Act 2004 (Sections 84, 85 and 86) and are able to issue
Penalty Charge Notices (parking tickets) to motorists who, park irresponsibly
across foot way crossings or double-park.
If you find that your foot way drop crossing is continually being
blocked for any length of time the Birmingham City Council Parking Enforcement
team can be contacted by ringing 0121
303 7613 or you can still inform the Police 101 if necessary and ask for their
help.
All drivers especially parents taking their children to and
from school should make every effort not to block people’s foot way crossing.
How would you like it done to you it just takes a little common sense to
realise the inconvenience blocking people in can cause.
