The council’s guidance is astonishing. It allows cable protectors across footways with a maximum height of 32mm and side slopes at no more than 1 in 5. Under any interpretation of highway practice this is a significant trip hazard and impassable for some wheelchair users.
Of course, you’re not allowed to run cables across the road, but it’s fine to create issues for people using the footway.
I’m absolutely against the idea because it’s making things more awkward or uncomfortable, but I reckon you’d need something more like this, but it’s still liable to create a trip risk. Not so cheap or easy to deploy now is it.
Someone else commented “The trip hazard + obstruction is serious enough, but this presumably also creates an issue of “ownership” of the public highway; an “entitlement” to park in front of one’s house because they need to charge. Unless there are very specific permits, this is going to cause problems.”

“This encounter is quite emotional & moving. It brought a tear to my ears. Jacob Rees-Mogg kindly chatting to a lower class woman who purports to be a Tory Councillor. Their despair over potholes & the no. 17 bus has hit my wife Bunty hard. She is weeping”

Cannon Hill Park today after members of the public found an emergency access gate open & took the opportunity to drive into, around, & park in the park itself. Police attended but couldn’t do anything due to their being “too many cars”

Cash meters get targeted, the cash stolen and the machine wrecked. This is not cheap and leads to the removal of machines.
Hard to believe anyone with a car does not have a bank account or are they catering for the ones with no licence, insurance, ved?

Nine out of ten councils do not plan to increase parking bay sizes
Cars are getting bigger and bigger, but Autocar research has revealed that fewer than 1-in-10 UK councils (8.2%) have plans to increase the size of their parking bays https://t.co/eXgp0EGM7J pic.twitter.com/OV79oDA96X

Standard off-street parking bays measure 2.40 metres wide by 4.80 metres long, and seven out of the top 10 best-selling car brands in the UK last year produce cars that exceed this length.
To make matters worse, five UK councils already impose maximum length restrictions on vehicles, putting the drivers of many big-selling models at risk of receiving fines when using council-run facilities.
War on Motorists !
