The Flame Pit / Private Parking Code of Practice Consultation
« on: July 11, 2025, 07:37:32 pm »
I've done a search, and can't see this elsewhere.
I Originally saw this from a Sheffield MP, Abtisam Mohamed on Twitter

I welcome the consultation on a new Private Parking Code of Practice and encourage as many people to respond outlining their concerns at

My own view is that the proposed changes do little to protect people from low-income backgrounds. The cap should be much lower than £100 and offering a 40% discount pressures motorists into paying, rather than exploring their options to appeal. Finally, the burden of debt recovery fees should not be placed on motorists, whatever the cost, and should be scrapped altogether.

We must seek to align closely with local authority run car parks, which are often cheaper, and I’ll be addressing the proposed changes with my colleagues.

I urge my constituents to engage with the consultation.

The Flame Pit / Re: Man arrested after secret filming shared on TikTok

From The GMP's own web page report

Man arrested following investigation into videos of women on nights out in Manchester
Published: 17:0327/11/2024
This morning (Wednesday 27 November 2024), we’ve arrested a 27-year-old man from Bradford on suspicion of voyeurism and harassment, in connection with several reports of women being followed, filmed, and harassed in Manchester City Centre.

This arrest is thought to be the first in the country linked with several viral videos on social media platforms appearing to have filmed women on nights out, some whilst in vulnerable positions.

As well as the widely viewed videos posted publicly, through further investigation, we found more content locked under paywalled accounts which included footage of suspected non-consensual nudity and upskirting.

After the issue was first brought to our attention, we made several appeals for anyone directly impacted by these videos to come forward. Many women did so, explaining the fear this had created for them, and the impact on their feeling of being safe whilst out at night.

Over the past few months, our neighbourhood team have worked in close consultation with the CPS to understand what next steps we could take with the reports received.

What have you actually received? I doubt whether it's a PCN.

Why would they measure "wheel to wheel"? It's not the cycle wheels that are in danger. You need a clear gap )1.5m) between the cyclist's body and the extremity of your vehicle (probably the mirror).

Without going into the merits of this case, most of the police photo illustrations I've seen do show the cycle wheel line.
e.g. a few random ones

Which isn't to say they've not been criticised

The Flame Pit / Re: PePiPoo site down??

For me, main website up OK, but forum down.


IsItDown website shows both main site & forum responding to them, so probably pings OK

As far as I can tell, the domain name remains registered and paid for up until 2027.
Maybe a basic page could be re-hosted somewhere on the same URL, with a notice explaining the whereabouts of this site, in order to assist those unable to find it.
WHOIS Pepipoo details

Similarly, the Pepipoo Twitter account still seems to be nominally active, so maybe a message there too in order to help those searching for Pepipoo information on that platform.

Good luck with this site.
