Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
I have repeatly called my council and been assured that I will be email a copy of the traffic order but each time nothing happens. I gather from other posts I am entitled to this under the freedom of information act.
What is the correct wording and what happens if they continue to ignore my requests?
Yep. Find out where they are and just go. they will be a bit phased but it is your right.
relevant legislation is something like (not sure -doing this from memory)
Local Authorities Traffic Orders (procedures) Act. - something like that and think it might be 1990.
Always best to see the original anyway because worth checking it is all signed and sealed properly (it's a council remember - they get things wrong i understand.
So look at the section relevant to your piece of road but also look at the opening and closing stuff - err i think.
cool thanks, lol I've started looking at all parking bays now - getting sad now
I did for a while - and getting that urge to approach people and say "you can appeal that you know" (never actually did)
The effect wears off after a while - when you realise that it's such a high percentage it becomes pointless noticing!
Do not let the Council dictate to you by insisting on sending it. Insist that you be allowed to view it and get names and keep records of calls!

read that 'sticky' i mentioned.

you don't have the link to the sticky do ya? so I need to actually go to the council and look it up in their books? If you had the reg. at least when they deny knowledge of what I'm talking about I could argue better
Link to what I gave you and out from that to the parking forum. try FAQs from there or link further out to multiple forum page and check in FAQs there.
Could I just point out for all the armchair lawyers, that a request under the FoI may* not result in obtaining a copy of a TRO. A TRO is an exempt document
There is a specific exemption for documents available by other means. A TRO is a public document, available on demand from the highway authority or their agents and thus subject to this exemption and not obtainable via FoI
* I write 'may' becasue often a Council will send it anyway, regardless of the invalidity of the method of request
Getting a copy of the Traffic Order
