Interesting story about car parking in Brixham
As reported today a local trader was caught by their friendly traffic warden, she was parked outside her own premises and was three minutes over the allotted hour.
The warden made the ticket up before he arrived at the car, so she had no time to move. He then proceeded to take photographs of not only the number plates front and rear, but photos of the interior. When he was questioned about this he said he had permission and the right to do this.
Parking in Brixham is a problem, but these attitudes do not help in improving the quality of life in the town.
"Torbay District Council has lost £250,000 a year after it took over parking enforcement from the police.The area's mayor, Nick Bye, said the move has been a "financial disaster" and may lead to a rise in council tax."
It's not even making any money, so who is happy!!
