Not far from Handbridge where Duke St. meets Park St. there's a wonderful illustration of the mess caused by the de-criminalisation of parking. The BMW in the photo has been parked in a 30 minute bay for at least the last three weeks. Badly parked over the line reducing the availability of spaces for others, it's got 3 parking tickets stuck on it's windscreen.
Apparently it's not a Police matter because it's not a danger to the public. Community Safety Wardens are making enquires but have no power to move the vehicle. The maximum number of tickets it can be given is three. The Council cannot tow it away until it's road tax expires - which in this case is April 2015 ! Do you remember the days when we didn't have PCSO's, Community Safety Wardens, Council Parking Wardens etc etc and all we had was the Police. We seem to have made things far to complicated and as a result no one knows who or what to turn to when action is required.
