Couple of guys have received parking tickets. The one guy has been parking in the same spot for yrs.They have only just received the letters from RM,they have gone over the time limit for paying cheaper fine due to only just having letters. Who should pay the fines. Especially as they have gone over time limit to pay cheaper. Nice to see local council helping us out in covid. I park on yellow lines (2yrs), worried about getting fine. (Tickets were not issued by traffic warden but traffic enforcer car)

If you were there in the course of your duty hand it to the traffic office or the DOM if it keeps happening they will suspend deliveries it is normally some numpty traffic warden who will get his ass slapped as it wastes their time processing it we tend to have a good relationship with councils as we post lot's of threating letters for their own services. Don't pay it yourself

TheDrivers Guide to Loading and Unloading in England & Wales may be of use (to some) in knowing those rules

Rule of thumb and adding to what k9 has said, as long as you don't break the law IE bus stops, zig zags etc then RM pay it.

I've had a ticket before, told manager there was nowhere else to park and never heard anything again.

Sometimes I have great difficulty parking to empty some post offices on collections. There is a loading bay outside one which is clearly marked as loading only however people always park in it. I have been told by management that if the loading bay I can double park across the road to access the post office. Obviously abit dodgy, but still it is the only option. The police in my area normally do not touch our vans, we have a good relation with them. I think they are afraid they will lose our cooperation in intercepting drug packets if they start fining royal mail vans!

Block the people who double park in ten to one most of them will have drugs in their cars so call the cop's it's a win win.
