What a dreadful morning to bring in a parking blitz – absolutely pouring down with rain and everyone desperate for their children not to spend all the day in wet clothes at school.

The parking enforcement officers should not have chosen that day. I have no doubt tempers on both sides would have been frayed. I bet the enforcement officers didnt like getting a soaking either.

Time to calm down I think. I am sick of watching this greedy council covering more and more bits of roadway up with double yellow lines and making money out of fines. This is no way to solve the problem.

With less lines and more spaces to park the mums and dads would have a first come, first parked attitude and hopefully drop and drive away would evolve.

Anyway food for thought.
