Hi Ross, I was at the bottom of ditchling road on the occasion in question, you were passing and shouted out "you missed a bit " 
10 mins later I had packed the hose away and was cleaning at the back.
Thanks for the advice, Yes the by-law hasnt changed but the t&c's on the back of our permits does say we are not permitted in  res or pay bays, I was because I thought it safer to than on the double yellows on that one way obstructing parents and toddlers coming out of the day nursery. and I've stated that in my appeal. To be honest I've never had a problem until now either.
Reckon it was that big blond b$*ch with the glasses who ticketed me anyhow the jobsworth, I'm sure you know who I mean, even her workmates hate her.

Hi Simon - didn't realise you were SPE. Sorry but I couldn't resist the 'missed a bit'.

The T & C's on the back, most traffic wardens don't seem bothered except for 'her' or rather 'it'. Have you noticed she's slowly getting fatter?

A traffic warden who I see quite often along East Street had the misfortune to be working with her and he reckons she accounts for about 80% of all appeals for tickets issued.

I was told by a traffic warden that so long as I was connected to my van, ie, with a hose pipe, I was fine.

In fairness I have never had a ticket from a warden whilst working, except from a stupid car mounted camera, and that was when cleaning council office windows and that was appealed and won.

Round our way you're ok on double yellows as long as your back doors are open and you return to the vehicle every ten minutes. Every traffic warden I have spoken to has confirmed this so it might be an idea to have a chat with a local one, and see where you stand.

Brilliant.  So you have to risk your equipment being stolen to avoid a parking ticket.

Hi Ross, rained off as well then 
indeed "IT" does seem to cast a larger shadow these days 
whoever it was even took close up pictures of my permit on the dashboard to prove their point.
Stupid thing is I park this way all day and ask every warden I see if its ok, never a problem, and infact one even told me to appeal it.

[R.W.C.S]

Thanks for all the advice, it's a terraced house so nobody has a driveway on the whole street. I ended up parking on the double yellows as all the residential parking places were taken.

Left a laminated sign in the van saying "Cleaning in progress - if this vehicle needs to be moved call 07**** ******".

Came back after an hour round the back without any problems. In fact the only problems i had were people asking me if it was ok if they drove over the hose.

I recognise i may get a ticket, but the householder reckons i can park on the slightly bigger pavement (which was being used by a decorator at this cleaning time) next to her house in future. (Which may or may not open a bigger can of worms in terms of street parking).

hi ya i love double yellow lines no one wants to work them , as i am trad i park on a custermers drive a few  streets a way and walk the yellow line route simpels lots of dirty windows for the taking .....pete

£70 fine for parking on double yellow lines. Had to pay two in one week last month. Paid within 14 days so half price bargain-not.

this may have been said and/or abvious but surley you can get  somekind of permit for workiing on double yellows?!? 

[roundbuilder]

I would be very careful about parking even if you are working there. I had a ticket in Bromley last year, had a note in the windscreen but still got a ticket. Even tried to contest it with the local council but they upheld it.

I clean loads in beckenham and get done by the automated cameras they have all over the place up there on red routes and double yellows. It's annoying but I have to risk it as work won't do itself. I contest and win every time thankfully but is a headache.

Del boy used to put a "Doctor On Call" sign on the dashboard.

Park elsewhere and use a trolley or clean trad.

Traffic Warden will do you regardless.
