@serailway.bsky.social A new record for illegal parking on Station approach at Orpington today. Despite double yellow lines and clear signage I counted 15 vehicles there today (including the previously reported Fiat on a jack) Any chance you can get your parking enforcement team to deal with them?

Hey @serailway.bsky.social Any chance your parking enforcement can do anything about the illegally parked vehicles on Orpington Station approach. You can see from the frost on the windscreen that they've been there for some time. In the case of the Fiat up on a jack - since before Christmas...

The things you spot in station book exchanges. A 30 year old French video magazine.

Hey @serailway.bsky.social Once again, station approach is full of unauthorised cars ignoring the no parking signage. Maybe get some parking enforcement staff down there?

A clear enough message you'd think? But clearly not for the dog owner who has allowed their dog to shit here... #dogshitwankers

Proof that if you don't bollard the entire perimeter of a building (in this case the @crick.ac.uk) a driver will park there.

Almost every time I pass this spot I see cars parked here. I believe this cobbled area opposite Tesco in Orpington is meant to facilitate easier turning for lorries that have delivered to the store. But of course the law of selfish drivers states that if a car can be parked somewhere then it will.
