21 July (Part 2) - Cheap parking
As I returned home at 1:30 yesterday there were two pavement parkers nearby. I
would probably have snapped them with the mobile except that I was on a very rare incoming call, they may
have been residents’ visitors, reporting them is a pain and they may well have
been gone by the time the ticket lady showed up. Probably they were visitors as
they were both still there after 10 p.m. with PCNs on their windscreens.
Why people park on the footpath when a fine is almost inevitable is beyond me.
The rules are not difficult to follow and by doing so my 60 year old driving
record is unblemished. A PCN is an expensive mistake and so is Bexley’s
outrageous £15 a day commuter parking fee.
However right next to
the £250,000 Felixstowe Road car park is a more secure and more accessible car park.
It is called Sainsbury’s and boasts free electric car chargers.
You can book on line
for a fiver a day. A no brainer!
I knew that you could book a space at Sainsbury’s but had not checked out what was involved. Thanks to Sharon for the tip.
