The "£3 million parking bonanza" story (The Argus, November 18) could have gone further.

It could have told of cars being impounded when not causing any obstruction (against NPAS rules), the double-or-nothing fines if you challenge Brighton and Hove City Council, the fact the council happily says, year in year out, 160,000 cars will be ticketed - more than any other council in Britain - or that it has not consolidated the parking laws so does not have the legal framework to back up its fines.
