Eeew you are correct Neil, didn't know that .. looked it up ... here it is.

Department for Transport - Parking on pavements and alongside dropped kerbs

Think it is a difficult one when parking on the road opposite to another one (who is to say which car parked first !), as against on the pavement . as long as room for prams, wheelchairs, etc.

Last week travelled down Audley Range, and due to the heavy population there, they were all parked on the pavement ... scoffed at this, but obviously, perfectly legal then.
