park and loop/parking restrictios

Post by keithposty »

it seems that my office is ome of the few that has not had its revision yet.

the planners are in and i would like advice on this matter

HOW HAS ROYAL MAIL EVADED THE ISSUE OF DOUBLE YELLOW LINES ETC IN ITS PARK AND LOOP

they will state it will be delt with on the duty structure (dont believe that for a minute)

it is my intention we have fully defined parking spots within the law prior to any delivery methods implementation

Think we've covered RM parking allowances in previous posts. I'm sure some one will post a link. If I remember rightly RM don't have "Carte Blanche" to park anywhere, just because we display the Queen's Crown. :shock:

However a lot of situations can be covered because we are not "Parking" on Double yellows merely "Loading/Unloading", which I believe is allowed. :Very Happy I suppose you're concerned with P & L if you are away from the van with your "Golf Trolley"? :hmmmm
Perhaps you Manager can talk to the Council about getting some sort of exception for RM Vehicles?

And see Blade Runners post as well for interesting info.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Makes me feel a lot better about doing something minor like reversing into a bollard! :Very Happy God knows what was going through these guys minds when they saw their vans speeding off.......I've had a few dodgy handbrakes but the van wasn't moving that fast and I was able to jump in and stop it! :d'oh!
