Have you had a parking ticket in richmond place?
With reference to parking in Richmond place please be aware that from what I have been told they have re-painted the double yellow lines outside Stewarts, so if you park down there will be no appeal that is of course they have done it properly.
Yep! checked it out photographed it but did not measure the lengths to see if they are as stated in the CTRO. They maybe, but then again they maybe not.

YES - HE REALLY WROTE THAT!
Are you for real pal? You seriously need to get a life. What's your next mission going to be, now that this one is over?
Gentlemen..."calm down dears it's only a few painted lines". Having holidayed at the Sandy Lane with Michael and Simon I have returned to Dawlish in time for the long weekend; I'm taking life a little easier now at the TDC. Anyway back to the point...the lines were not quite long enough so I've been out today and finished the job off. They needed an extra couple of inches to hit the mark, job done, back home in time for tea and crumpet with the wife.
Good news for the tea lobby, the crumpet lobby and the yellow paint lobby. Hey ho! Another frivolous Bank Holiday weekend, another dollar.
Good on yer.

To all the budding Mr Harry's out there- You know the score with parking in Dawlish, you know the restrictions. The fact that you choose to waste tax payers (OURS!) money on fighting authority about these matters is laughable. Regardless of technicalities You were in the wrong full stop.
How can you be in the wrong it you are not breaking the law? Please dont use the usual answer about technicalities, as there are none in law.
You're right there User 4549, no laws broken if the lines are not legal. I measured and photographed them, sought clarification from my sources and we were right all along, no case to answer M'Lord! So Fel-699 keep it real whoever you are!
It would be a good idea for the couch solicitors to check out the TSRGD on line and see for themselves the lawful signs and lines.
There is the law or no law, an offence or no offence.
It would serve FEL-699 better if it would care to ask his local snout-in-the-trough councilor, (yes they are at it as well) why is it that those that are gainfully employed on the back of our taxes, can get things oh so wrong at our expense and expect to get away with it.
If the law says something must be done (the word must is mandatory by the way) and someone chooses to do it differently than that prescribed in law, who's fault is it?
The law is quite specific in what is or what is not an offense.
Putting things in another way, how would you like to be convicted of an offense you did not commit?
Putting right a wrong works in many way's and your councilor should be asking why it was done wrong in the first place and not you criticising those that challenge a conviction.
ROY!!!!!....Did just read that right???? YOU......the man that cant type unless he's wearing his fishnet stockings..... were telling someone else to get a life????
i think you are the ones not keeping it real me ol china... measuring the lines? cheezuz crisps! the fact that you can SEE THE FUSCHIAS should tell yo something! I thought there were no technicalities in law ( as one of your "friends" suggests? evidently there are...
I ran a red light yesterday, but got off because i am registered colour blind.
I got prosecuted for doing 60mph down a residential street with children out playing, but got an absolute discharge as there were no speed restriction signs...
I take all the free dvd's off the front of magazines in newsagents as it says "FREE"...
GET SOME COMMON SENSE.
You really are a confused person, just for clarification I read the posts here and NOT ONE PERSON SUEGGESTED THERE WERE TECHNICALITIES. What has been said is there are no technicalites in law, you can make up all sorts of silly scenarios, but if you broke the law then you need to be taken to court and if proved, found guilty if not then not guilty.

growing VERY tired of your incessant crap now. MP's are another matter, yes, they are in the wrong and yes, the police are right to instigate legal proceedings!
ph DID commit an offence, there are lines there to advise on parking restrictions, he chose to argue over F*****G inches! Don't be so bloody naive and ignorant, how many more times, it's like talking to apes! I could not care less whether I get banned from these forums any longer, so do your worst, offer to meet me somewhere public, let's settle this once and for all...
jesus christ? that is what you posted!

ALL 3 OF YOU ( OR ALL 1 OF YOU )
lets look at this whole issue differently. for the 12months or so when there was nobody to enfrce parking control what problems did we have ? yellow lines should only be used where indiscrimate parking causes a problem or a danger, yellow lines im sure werebrought in as a cash cow for the authorities. speed cameras do not catch the real offenders, they know where they are slow down and speedup, we all see this type of driving everyday. speed limits can not be enforced properly there will always be boy/girl racers. it is the authorities who need to get there act together and make sure they comply with the laws so we can do likewise. the MPs who broke the law what is happening to them? in todays express & echo page there is a letter from a lady who challenge a pcn because the city council did not get there signage right, she won her case just like ph are you going to villify her. i try to abide by the law, but the law has to be rightand fair.
PJD, It does not need one as you are right, good to see common sense can prevail.
Amazing that these people (DSCP) still use the word OFFENCE and yet they have to reimburse 24,899 people since 1997/2007. Yet no offence was committed
The Dorset Safety Camera Partnership (DSCP) can confirm that it has secured agreement regarding dealing with speeding offences detected by the safety camera monitoring westbound traffic on the A35 in Chideock prior to 2007.
Each case will be reviewed individually and may result in motorists detected travelling over 30mph on the westbound safety camera in Chideock, prior to 2007, having the fixed penalty payment from this offence refunded and the related penalty points removed from their driving licence, if still valid.
Roy can get his teeth into this one.
Hi User4549. :)
That's very interesting.
Do you know on what technicality it was that the offender was able to get away with it?
Here you are Roy: And it was 24,899 so called offenders, and before you get all hot and heavy, I admit that most if not all may have been speeding which I will agree is wrong, but they operated this site for ten years without the correct TRO, which is not legal, a silly but costly mistake, as I have said many times before, we should be able to trust these highly paid people to get it right first time
Q: What is the issue relating to the A35 in Chideock?
A: A Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) which defined a length of the A35 in Chideock as a 30mph zone has been found to be defective as it mistakenly referred to the A35 junction with “ Seatown Road”, when it should have been “Duck Street”.
3rd time? sorry, i missed the others... the fly is in the trap. Pity this isn't moderated! There you go people, rises straight away reachiiing for the boxing gloves. you reall y are an anti social old man. I tend to restrain my physical urges. You really don't want to upset yourself with me though. Really.
A pretty expensive one, but you have no criticism for the authorities for getting it so badly wrong and for 10 years. Once again it was a Judge who ruled.
My criticism is reserved for the lorry driver who admitted doing over 40 mph in a 30mph zone through a small village.
He is an "offender", because he admitted the offence. He admitted putting the lives of adults and children alike at risk.
The fact that he was so desparate to find any kind of loophole suggests that his livelihood was at risk because he probably had so many points on his licence already. I.e. a persistent offender.
Of course someone at the relevant authority also got it wrong. They got it wrong once though, not for 10 years.
I hope that you have never lost anyone due to speeding motorists or cars parked on double yellow lines. If you had, then I'm confident that you wouldn't be holding Peter Harry's hand every time he's in court.
Roy, That really is nit picking.
"Of course someone at the relevant authority also got it wrong. They got it wrong once though, not for 10 years".
Why didnt somebody in authority check the TRO when they first applied and began operating it in 1997, and they didnt realise until 2007 and it was the Judge who spotted it.
Roy here's another technicality, Herald express today (4th July)
Prosecution accused as Asbo charges dropped
Saturday, July 04, 2009, 07:00
But Alan Parsons, defending Bramall, successfully argued that the Crown Prosecution Service had not correctly served the Asbo to Bramall or followed correct identification procedure.
As I have said many times before, if authorities took the time to do things properly they would succeed every time
the CPS get it wrong a lot of the time, thats why so many criminals are let off laughing at the law. i used to know an ex police officer who told me it happens frequently thats why he left the force disinchanted
Whereas many speed cameras appear to me to be placed somewhat arbitrarily and seem intended primarily to raise revenue, those in Chideock definitely fall into the road safety category.
In that capacity, their important role is in persuading drivers to slow down on downhill sections of the busy road through the village.
Don
Don, I agree entirely, my question is why do these highly paid officials get it wrong so many times, and that one was wrong for ten years and it took a judge to spot it
unfortunately ( for you)... the LAW is interpreted LITERALLY. Therefore, you will find that at times, the result will not be of your liking! This has been my point from day 1, but you try to ridicule me! The law is in place & either the system will find the defendant in the wrong or the defence will enable discharge...it's a game" ask any copper...cops & crims is "a game"...Don't ask how I know this, I am not a cop (a little bit higher actually)OOPs!- i DON'T LIKE IT, BUT THAT'S THE WAY LIFE IS...Iraq? Swine Flu? Credit Crunch? who tells you the real truth?
Revenue.... where do you think this money goes? your cardiac de- fibrillator? maybe... do not mock the system, without the system you would not have your privileges....
User 4549, I think FEL-699 has a view of life that is rather different from yours and mine - his perspective appears to be that any criticism of Government, central or local is wrong. (Correct me if this is unfair, FEL-699.) As a former systems analyst, I value criticism as a tool to improve a system. Refusal to accept criticism or dismissal of it as mockery have been the stock-in-trade of totalitarianism, suitable for those who are convinced that they are right and that they know what is best for everyone. Don
Don, I try to use logic and truth, which is unacceptable to Fellover 699, I spent many years abroad in the airline business and also in financial advertising just off fleet street (farringdon st) I get the impression he is just an angry young man, most probably completely wrong. You must have noticed how he goes off on a tangent which has no relation to the topic/thread.
