Unhappy town hall illegal parking

Can somebody from our council explain to me why there was appox 30 cars parked outside the town hall today, the area is restricted to traffic yet we allow cars to park under the town hall arch without any fines being impossed on illegal parking. I understand it was an asian wedding which it would seem allows a complete and utter change of road traffic laws, equality it seems is out the window, if I park there tomorrow I would have a ticket before I locked the door.
so come on elected officers explain this please or is it simply that we dont prosecute certain members of the public. My money says I wont get a response ....

Re: town hall illegal parking

My blood pressure was normal until I read your post Duggie.
As a "retired gentleman of leisure", so my business card now says, I am too polite to say what I think about inequality suffered by the original home grown on English soil, hard working members of the community, who may I add, don't refer to going home to land on distant shore even though they were born here.

Rant over, pill under tongue, nice warm drink to calm me down.

Re: town hall illegal parking

what was the reason for the parking, were they using the hall for a function. that should not make any difference but it may be useful to know in case i need to park there one morning.

Re: town hall illegal parking

This is not a police matter. Traffic wardens are employed either by the council or a firm which operates under the bye-laws for the council.

sorry bob your wrong, traffic laws are being broken, it is classed as pedestrian zone check out the road signs, it is the same as a speed limit sign yet town hall bosses have allowed this illegal act, I will be taking this up with the police and I will be writing to the town hall to get thier opinion

Why have all traffic cops been made redundant since last year.?

Re: town hall illegal parking

i dont knwo teh rules of teh town center parking at that location but if it was an asian wedding teh chances are most cars will be taxis and i think they are allowed there

hate to sound stereotyping but lets face it the words asian , driver and taxi pretty much go together pretty well ..

I think you're wrong accyman, if they were taxis they'd have stopped in the middle of the road.

No it's only buses which means that HBC's own van which is often parked there is also illegal.

have a look at the signs on google streetview in the links below

https://www.google.com/maps/@53.7531...JNxO2DXaWg!2e0

https://www.google.com/maps/@53.7529...xB_bnBq3hA!2e0

Those signs make it a Police matter not a traffic warden issue
