Sorry but to me this is not a news worthy story.

People are parking in places they shouldn't, just because they can't find a proper space.

For example near where I stay just in the east end of Glasgow after the Royal Infirmary.

People constantly park on double yellow lines and in front of gates and emergency access points. There has not been a traffic warden in over 2 years here which is why people think they can get away with it! There is a call centre and the hosptial nearby.

If the council put out the yellow no parking cones for when they need to paint the road markings or do some work, people just move them on to the pavement and park there anyway!

So I am all for people getting parking tickets if it will teach them a lesson. I always walk past and feel like telling them to move or calling the council myself and telling them about it as they don't bother around here.

There are parking restrictions for a reason, keeping streets tidier, stopping congestion at busy times and making the place look neater.

PS. Arthur the money from fines goes back in to the pot and it goes towards repairing the roads.
