Unloading on double reds

[cheechm]

So I have come across a very unfortunate situation where I'm going to have to break the law to unload from my car onto a boat at Lambeth Pier. I have been advised by the owners of the boat to drive up on the pavement

What should I expect? It'll take me all of about 10 minutes. I know I'm looking at a £65 fine, but there isn't anything else I should be worrying about is there? Is it a criminal offence?

Given recommendations, there will be someone remaining with the car at all times just in case.

Council were completely unhelpful, but they don't deal with red routes anyway, that's TFL.

The pavement is my only option. Hopefully it'll be alright for 10 mins.

I'm expecting the fine, but I just want to make sure it isn't like a criminal offence.

Surely just park in the church car park literally opposite where you want to park? Then trolley the goods to the pier?

It will save a lot of faff.

At the archbishop of catebury's?

Just do it at 6am, who is going to be up?

The CCTV never sleeps

Also, time critical, and it's 300KG of PA for a party...

Get a trolley, park up the road in the car park and wheel it all down in a few trips.

300kg isn't that much PA - I've shifted mixing desks weighing more than that over worse terrain

I totally agree with you, but the time restriction doesn't allow for this. We have to be on the boat within half an hour.

The fine will be paid by the organiser, as we actually discussed this at time of booking, so to me, if there's only the possibility of the fine, then why not park on the red route nice and close!

Cheers for the help guys

Pulled up on the pavement, unloaded and left. In the mean time 2 police cars drove past and nothing was said.
