Express and Echo today "Parking officer is charged with doctoring a map A FORMER parking officer at the city council has appeared at Exeter Crown Court, accused of falsifying a document used in a motorist's appeal against a parking ticket. Geoffrey Urwin, 43, of Oxford Road, St James, in the city, appeared before Exeter Crown Court on Friday". The trial takes place on the 24th February 2011
PJD, I was thinking the same thing.
Exeter CC employee G Urwin has now been referred to the Crown Court, Dec 3rd, to answer the charge of Misconduct in Public Office, he airbrushed out part of the road name on the map, also made a false statement to the Parking Adjudicator to force a Parking Ticket to be paid. He has since left the Council. If found guilty the maximum sentence is LIFE, a bit extreme but thats what it is.
The express and echo today, I wonder how many times this has happened.
If it is the same person BEWARE he charged a pensioner friend of mine £300 to fit a ballcock in the toilet cistern.
Some stores will stay open, while they look for a buyer, one of which I hope is Dawlish.

ON their application for parking restrictions they put that they were a registered charity, but I cant find them in the registered charity list, can anybody else find them?
