It was reported to me that a vehicle in town had received 19 parking tickets in a short period of time…perhaps 6 weeks, over the period from the end of November til early January. Not one of these had been paid, and yet the Enforcement Officers apparently continued to issue tickets. I was given an assurance that Enforcement Officers are not paid by the number of tickets they issue!
Residents were inconvenienced by this on going offence, and I thought it an issue worth taking up. I raised questions at County Hall with officers and have received assurances that, while the number of such persistent offenders is not high, they do need to be dealt with in a rather more proactive way. I was pleased therefore that a rather more pro active response is to be developed by the County. I welcome the indication that officers are aware and now intend to do something about it. Watch this space, as they say….
