Gudran Dalibor with Dorothea Hackman at the Euston food bank

• I READ with interest your piece about Camden Council’s claim that “no exceptions to rules” can be made to parking violations, (Food bank donors are hit with parking penalty fines, February 20).

I live next door to the construction of the New Charlie Ratchford Centre in Chalk Farm. Since January 2019 residents have complained constantly about the parking infringements that the construction company have been allowed to get away with.

The whole street has been used as a holding bay for deliveries with trucks and lorries parked on zig zags and over zebra crossings. They regularly mount the pavement and ignore double yellow lines.

For six months they illegally parked in three spaces outside the Old Charlie Ratchford Centre even though they say employee parking would not be required to ensure the development kept carbon emissions low. They’ve even blocked an entrance to Haverstock School.

Regular complaints have been made to Camden enforcement officers, with photographic and video evidence supplied. Excuses from the contractor have been accepted and no enforcement action has been taken.

So it would appear that the council can and do make exceptions when it suits them. It’s a shame they can’t apply this same principle to people supporting those in our community that need it.
