West Bay Parking in Car Spaces
Had a little drive down to West Bay for some retail therapy in Helmet City. Big number of bikes out today, so much so, that the top, main slipway MC park was full and spotted 3 unfortunate riders having 3 fines for group parking within a single car space. There was plenty of space down by the usual park on the harbour. Such a shame as I'd expect they had a decent ride out. Be warned fellow peeps.
Weymouth is hot on this too, show a ticket or park only in the MC bay. Wish there was more MC spaces at other harbours, Charmouth is limited.

Re: West Bay Parking in Car Spaces
Wonder if one of them bought one ticket for all three bikes? After all they've only occupied one car space.... Logically I would think that is fair and ok but when does this country ever work on logic....

Re: West Bay Parking in Car Spaces
Dont know id it still stands but was told by parking warden in Cheddar once when bike bays are full buy one ticket and fill a car park space with as many bikes as will fit

Pays to read the small print on the board eh? I had similar down Cornwall, sometimes the info is focused on cars and campers, and limited specifics for MC's
I don't think any ticket would stay put today with 15 foot waves over the breakwater!

So we ride to West Bay, all the bike spaces are full so we ride off and West Bay traders don't get our revenue......
Similar to dog walking on the beach at Instow. This was extremely popular as the only decent beach that in summer didn't have dog restrictions, folks with kiddy widdies had loads of other beaches to visit. You'd go there on any day of the week and 95% of the people on the beach were poop scooping dog owners and a large number did pub lunches and used the deli in Instow. Council overruled the wishes of the actual owners of the beach and restricted dog walking. Trade in the pubs and shops nosedived......

Re: West Bay Parking in Car Spaces
Notice at Portland Bill says...m/cs in m/c bay or 1 bike per car space + 1 ticket. If I recall correctly !!!
Have you noticed that anyone going slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster is a maniac ?

Re: West Bay Parking in Car Spaces
If I ride there and there's no bike spaces I could, in theory, park my bike for free for up to 3 hours on double yellows right outside Helmet City as I hold a blue badge. Trouble is, there's nowhere secure to attach it to the bike and if you don't display it you get a ticket!
I have asked the question to the wardens in Paignton but they didn't have a clue what to do....

Re: West Bay Parking in Car Spaces
Fairly certain that’s because the car parks are not local council owned
