Over zealous traffic wardens

Sinister council cash grab

Or just feckin stupid idiots from a local council doing what they do best

Earley cars lifted for double yellow line-painting then fined

A council has apologised for issuing fines to cars after lifting them up to paint yellow lines underneath.

well thats a start, after all sorry is the hardest word

The contractors painted the new lines in Blackthorn Close at the request of residents, the council said. But soon after the cars were lowered, the authority's parking enforcement contractors issued them with tickets.

I bet they were waiting with tickets already filled out

They said it was "an unfortunate coincidence" parking enforcement contractors were in the area shortly after the yellow lines were painted. "We entirely accept they have been issued in error," they added.

coincidence, my arse
