Can I park on a pedestrian space to offload?

Can I park on a pedestrian open space to offload to a retail customer if I there is no other way to offload and I put measures in place to assure pedestrian safety?

Hi Paul,

By the letter of the law, no you may not, at least not without prior permission. You will need to work with the retail customer to engage with the local council for a solution that is acceptable to all. Hopefully they'll issue an exemption with conditions, which you should get in writing and carry with you at all times.
