SO JUST PARK THERE SOD WHAT THEY SAY AND JUST RISK IT what can they do if you have no driving hours left?

Wanted!! One volunteer to test that theory out.

They say that they are going to fine drivers who park for what they deem to be an excessive length of time, in locations where that bye-law applies. If the driver does not pay up,and zboff, they say that the vehicle will be towed away.Knowing CCC as I do, they will already have in place the infrastructure to carry that out.

I can imagine the reaction of a member of the ■■■■■■■ Constabulary Mobile section, who has been woken from a deep sleep, on top of Stainmore at 11/00 pm , and called to Kingstown Industrial Estate to sort out an intransigent trucker parked in contravention of the CCC bye-law. To be told that mickey blue on TNUK advised them to take that course of action. The air would be blue ,mickey ; The driver would get tasered, just for the hell of it.

What,s needed in this country is a bit of French Transport industry style Direct Action.Blockade ■■■■■■■■■■■■ Tesco/Morrisons/Aldi/and the Co-op run out of Rice Crispies, ■■■■■■■ County Council would have toilets/ cafes/ rest rooms/saunas/ massage parlours. and tattoo bars installed in every layby,within days. The only problem then would be ,that the Travelling Community would move in and take them over.They of course ,are not subject to the same crap treatment as members of the Road Haulage Industry. So we would be back where we started.

Give Mickey,s Theory a go. I,ll keep my eyes on the News&Star, to see how you get on. :unamused: :unamused:

YOU SOD!!! :smiley: :smiley: :open_mouth:

well its just my input into this topic but come on, like another poster has said in the eyes of the LAW it is classed as a safe place to stop so what can they do? they are in a 50/50

And whose fault is it that they are banned■■?

In the BBC link grasshopper provided, it said they are being banned due to the rubbish left behind. It also states the facilities quickly become overwhelmed and the bins become full.

So it seems Carlisle Council would prefer to ban the drivers than provide bigger bins, more bins or empty the bins they already got more often.
It’s a bit like providing a service, then banning those that use the service due to it’s popularity.

Let’s face it. Everyone on this site knows about the lack of parking spaces and facilities in general, toilets, showers etc.

We got to park somewhere FFS.

Agreed George, by us every retail park that has a maccy d or KFC on it looks like a rubbish tip the next morning, they just send cleaners round every morning to clean up. No cars have been banned yet !!!
