Parking on double yellow lines

At last week’s cabinet meeting, Bathwick Councillor Armand Edwards asked how many parking tickets had been issued outside Tesco. The answer? In the 6 months since the shop opened, only five tickets have been issued.

Given that I once saw seven simultaneous infringements, less than one parking ticket per month is embarrassingly low. The loading bay in-front of the shop is not for parking, it has double yellow lines. Likewise, parking is banned from either side of the bridge as the road narrows, turns a corner and crests the bridge.

As ever, I am harrying various organisations on behalf of Bathwck residents; the council, who have promised a new sign, the police who need to act against pavement parking and Tesco, which needs to manage its suppliers better.
