Illegally parked cars

Reported via mobile in the Car parking category anonymously at 17:41, Mon 19 February 2024

Sent to Enfield Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5601084.

For the last two years the Primitive butcher and the two brothers motorcycle garage have used the double yellow lines at the entrance to Acacia Road as their own private parking area. Safe in the knowledge that Enfield Council can do nothing to deter them or enforce the rules that we are all supposed to follow. In this photo the butcher’s vehicle has had its emergency lights on for the past three hours. Obviously there is no emergency other than they didn’t want to walk far from their vehicle to their place of work. Their friends and partners in the motorcycle garage park their bikes up close to the front and rear of the van to help obscure the license plate. One rule for them and another for us.
