I live in Smalsbury and never had a problem with parking. Saying that, I did contact the council when we moved into our house as it only has residents parking that you have to pay annually. They said I need a ticket for my bike and to put it into a tax disc holder. What crap. Spoke to a friend of mine that is a traffic warden (someone has to do it) and she said they usually turn a blind eye to bikes. I did not get my ticket, been parking outside the house for many years now and never got a ticket.
If in doubt could you not put a cover over your bike when parked as by law they are not allowed to touch your property and if they move the cover they are risking damage to your cover and/or bike. Not sure on the law for this.
