Parking enforcement officers have resumed duties in North East Lincolnshire and are once again clamping down on illegally-parked vehicles.

Motorists are given the opportunity to appeal their fines, however, highway bosses have revealed that 17 drivers have already bitten the bullet and stumped up the cash.
Read today's Grimsby Telegraph to find out what the worst offender did, how one of the council's own vehicles was caught out, and where the majority of the fines have so far been handed out.

“Johnathan Oldstyle.
You come over as the self-styled pompous prig type, who feels that they have the right to park with impunity due to their superior status. Am I right? People have every right to be critical of the all too numerous illegal parkers who cause inconvenience to others, so get use to it, as they are justifiably exhibiting their democratic right of letting their feelings be known.”

“I'm surprised to see only two instances of those predictable and unimaginative statements you would expect to see (amongst the rest of the mostly drivel) in response to an article like this one. You know the ones, it's hardly rocket science is it? It's simple really, yes the ones you would expect to hear from the smug, never done a thing wrong in their lives, holier than thou's. Anyway here they are for your amusement.
"It's simple really do not park illegally and there will not be a problem about getting a ticket.
If you park legally it doesn't affect you. Quite simple really."
But could they be the words from the council who use those predictable and unimaginative phrases such as:
"This will send a clear message..... or
The message is finally getting through...."
Are these really words from the newly appointed Civil Parking Enforcement squad?”
