Disco-Ron:
There are apparently only two situations in which it is legal to even drive on the pavement, let alone park on it, the first is  'if directed by a police officer'........... and the second, is to gain access to your property..... ie, drive over the pavement onto your won or someone elses driveway.......... any other time its illiegal..................

There must be a third as I have seen official parking bays marked half on the pavement.

And to unload a vehicle if it is inpractical to do it otherwise.

Had the argument with a parking vulture, was ticketed and the company appealed it, and won with an unreserved apology from the council.

That reminds me I got Ticked in London while Delivering Elcetrical stuff to a building site around Blackfriers, I was there 2 mins There was My van and 5 cars along this bit of road The bit of road had been Temprly marked loading unloading bay which was painted onto the pavement I got a ticket but the cars that were Rep mobiles no ticket, so i took pictures on the firms phone and got the supervisor from the site i had delivered to make a note on my del notes, he said the car owners were in the sandwich bar just up the road, and they had nothing to do with the site this warden was just targeting delivery wagons.......

The firm appealed and were let off then in news 4 days later the council in that area were in the news for ticketing motors even when they were in pay bays with time left on the meter

Bob696:
It is illegal to park with wheels on the pavement in London elsewhere only if it causes an obstruction. Why there is a geographic distinction is beyond me.

On our estate, if it wasn't common practice, they may as well turn it into a pedestrian only estate as the roads are too narrow.
