westminster council loading rules in parking bays
by Administrator on Apr.26, 2009, under parking fines etc
Westminster council allow unlimited loading time before 11a.m. and 20 minutes
after 11a.m. on yellow lines and 20 minutes in parking bays http://www.westminster.gov.uk/transportandstreets/parking/loading/loading_parkingbays.cfm
The reason i write this is they gave me a ticket at 10.30a.m. while loading for taking 35 minutes.So much for Westminster’s new common sense approach.

I don’t know what is wrong with the people in the Westminster council. The wardens there behave like scavenging birds.

Traffic wardens are ok I find when they see a van- maybe different down there. You would be amazed a lot of folk don’t know parking rules for single yellow/doubles unloading etc and just pay up.
One ‘joker’ up here suggested you had 2 mins load/unload on a single yellow but I won’t go into that as he’s just embarrassing…
