I noticed that there are now temporary notices from the harbour master warning that parking on that area is illegal.
It's the calm before the storm Dave. There's going to be a County Council meeting, I think it's Thursday evening, to vote on implementing new By-Laws which will give the Harbour Master the power, in law, to prosecute the few miscreants who still think it's their right to Park on the Promenade. Powers that he lacked in the past, so was hamstrunged to resolve the problem.
Had a peek, the new Byelaw states:
7. TRUCK, MACHINE AND VEHICLE PROHIBITION
7(1) No person shall drive, bring or cause to the brought onto the
Promenade any truck, machine or vehicle other than:
(a) a bicycle, tricycle or other similar machine;
(b) a wheelchair, pushchair or pram used solely for the conveyance of a
child or children or a disabled person; or
(c) a mechanically or electronically propelled wheelchair used solely for
the conveyance of a disabled person.
