Don't park in illegal places?

Seems the sensible thing to do

You sound like someone who would also complain about speed cameras, if you don't want to abide by the rules, don't complain when you get caught

Are we talking about the occasional type of speed camera installed to save lives, or the garden variety installed to raise revenue?

Both the present Lib dems and the previous labour council have done very little for this city, imo they are as bad as each other , maybe its time for a complete change.

You need a reality check mate, the Lib Dems are trying to put all our sporting venues to trusts, and with massive rent increases for pitches which affects nearly every amateur club in the City, and increased rates for swimming and athletic team, they are risking all sports in the City, and as for Labour, I used to be on the cabinet, and in my time, I made the money available for Rovers new pitch, and the class rooms at the end of the RM stand, and dont forget who made the KC Stadium a reality, I also had an agreement in place for a new Olympic Swimming pool next to Craven Park, The Libs scrapped those plans.And dont forget the Libs refuse to let our Children and the elderly swim for free when nearly every other council does. So for you to say we're the same. is far from the reality of the situation.

I saw them between Great Field Lane & Church Lane. Don't know if they covered a bigger area though. Loads of cars park around there on matchdays.

Most of the road is double yellows, but the cars weren't on the road, they were parked on the grass verges. I've done this before (but not yesterday fortunately) & I've never seen any signage to suggest this is illegal.

The cars were off the road so as not to park on the double yellows, suggesting most thought this was ok. If people were knowingly parked illegally they'd just leave the cars on the road wouldn't they?

If some sort of warning was issued not to park here & people chose to ignore it then fair enough, but I think turning up unannounced & issuing all of these tickets during the game (when they knew nobody would be returning to their cars) is just nasty.

I think its someting to do with crossing them and then parking within a certain distance of them, I remember about 4yrs ago, a lot of residents down St Georges Road had a big row with the council over the same thing.

The ones which catch people exceeding the speed limit

Who got a parking ticket down Marfleet Lane then?

I was late today & as I walked down Marfleet Lane there was 4-5 (at least) traffic wardens issuing tickets to all of the cars parked on the grass verges.

When I passed one of them told me he’d got 42 cars already (don’t know if that was just him or all of them) & there was obviously plenty more to follow.

Looked like they’d waited for the game to start & it was obviously a planned “raid”.

Vindictive sods.

Try not to break the law and you will be just fine .Its not to difficult , or is it ?
