Residents of Inchture, Perthshire, were surprised to find official-looking warnings on their vehicles regarding pavement parking, weeks before the fines come into force. While the warnings caused concern, it was later clarified that they were not actual fines but rather notifications ahead of the new pavement parking ban.
Residents of a Perthshire village have expressed surprise on finding what appeared to be penalties for pavement parking weeks before fines come into force.
It emerged however that the 'tickets' were warnings rather than fines. The legislation prohibits pavement parking, double parking, and parking across dropped kerbs to improve pedestrian safety, particularly for those with mobility issues, visual impairments, and parents or carers with pushchairs. Announcing January 6 as the date for implementation, PKC said it was reviewing around 2000 streets in the region to focus efforts on areas where it is a particular problem for residents. PKC economy and infrastructure committee convener councillor Eric Drysdale had emphasised the hazards caused by pavement parking.
