@FredBassett Somebody posted a picture on EOD of a delivery van blatantly breaking traffic regulations, which was then reposted here , are you saying no offence was committed - it looks pretty clear cut to me. It's extraordinary that you appear to be condoning such an inconsiderate and unlawful act.
@FredBassett Utter nonsense. Show me the actual wording that says photographs taken in a public place which happen to contain a car number plate cannot be posted without first being blurred out. You cannot because it doesn't exist. You are making it up as you go along.
Nobody is going to get fired for parking on the pavement, at most, if this incident ever got back to his employer, he would get a slap on the wrist. If the driver can't abide by the rules then he shouldn't be doing the job. I would be interested to know the specific law which says it is illegal to post photographs of number plates in the public domain, because I don't believe such a law exists, ...
I fail to see what privacy laws have been broken here, the driver blantantly infringed parking regulations in a very public place, and somebody took a photograph. If the driver gets into some kind of trouble that is his own fault for being so selfish in the first place. In fact, as most phones these days have a camera included, I think this kind of "naming and shaming" could well catch on.
DCC is doing a better job at living within its means than this (any) government does.
I thought somebody said all the money had run out and nothing more was going to be done.
Moan, whinge, moan, whinge, moan, whinge. Why am I not surprised?
@Brazilnut As I have no connection with the Council I've no idea why you should think I know more than you concerning the redevelopment of The Strand.
Some neat editing there of Brazilnut's post. The original stated that although she was against selling council houses she still made enquiries about buying hers. She can't have it both ways, even though her enquiries came to nought, the intention was still there. A tad hypocritical if you ask me.
It's quite obvious Network Rail has just waited for the box to start falling down of its own accord, and will now get permission to finish off the job it wanted to do in 2004.
