East Lothian Coastal Car Parks; Do/should Motorbikes pay for parking?

 


I could not see anywhere on the Coastal car park meters or online on the East Lothian Council website if motorcycles park for free?, as motorbikes park free 99% everywhere else in Scotland, so I emailed the Council and within a week got a reply!,


Watch the film for the reply and my thoughts and reasons behind them...



More soon...

  1. Hi Bruce. One problem I’ve had, is when I want to park there before the 8.00am charging period starts, for example, catching the tide for fat biking or the dawn sunrise in summer for filming. If I leave the car without a ticket I could be fined. That was a while ago, so may have changed since then. Like you, I’m happy to pay for parking.

    1. Hi Gary, there is a lot of folks unhappy about paying for parking but since I was a kid we payed to park at them. Problem now appears to be attempting to stop overnight parking by campers and vans etc, folk who want to park early to walk, swim, run, cycle etc are not able to park early for being accused of there vehicle staying overnight!, though it has yet to be enforced by parking attendents yet, im sure a warm engine car with no condensation is obvious someone is just out enjoying the early morning!

  2. Also mean to say. I've included a link to your blog on Planet Gary. Hope that's OK?
