HOW gratifying to see that parking enforcement is finally being carried out in Northwich, but how disappointing to hear the reaction of Clr Brian Jamieson, who suggested that people should be warned that parking enforcement is to take place.
Anyone who has read the Highway Code knows that it is an offence to park contrary to the parking regulations in force on that road or car park in question.
Is he suggesting that we have signs alongside speed limit signs saying ‘We really mean it’?
I would have expected a member of our council to be aghast that that number of drivers felt the need to park illegally given the number of free parking spaces available in Northwich.
Parking in contravention of the parking regulations is arrogance of the highest order.
I would be quite happy to see the council taking £35,000 in fines each month, so please, keep parking illegally, but stop moaning when you are prosecuted.
