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 ....

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.

I have one on my mobile but dont know how to post them on here

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.

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.

Traffic Wardens do not work on Sundays

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.?:rolleyes:

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.
