Charging a 10p convenience fee isn’t breaking the law. If it was, then they should be punished - but not as heavily as stupid idiots who dump their cars on double yellow lines. I’ve never said that lawbreakers shouldn’t be punished.

If you live in Central Ward (which is roughly from Marine Garage area inwards towards the town - but if in doubt check!) and you would like there to be an election (as opposed to to the town council making a co-option) then you must let the electoral officer at Teignbridge know of your wish before 20th December. You must live in Central Ward for your request to be valid. Contact ...

Diana Mond. At long last you have admitted that if you break the law you may be punished. so why is it different to those LA's who break the law?

4 x full-time and 1 x part-time? 3 x full-time and 3 x part-time? 2 x full time and 5 x part-time? 1 x full-time and 7 x part-time? 9 x part-time?

Just think how many penny chews one could buy with that 10p that I willingly and knowingly parted with. Judging by by the lack of Agrees that you requested, it looks like you’re alone in thinking Ringo is Wrongo... To answer your latest question, if I didn’t pay to park in a chargeable parking place, then I’d quite rightly expect to receive a parking ticket. Likewise if I were stupid ...

Good for you. Your remarks have a selfish tone to them. Some peolpe can hardly afford a loaf of bread let alone pay more for something that the law does not allow. And here you are only deciding where you will go in the new year. There are many things that the government has placed a cap on. If you wish to go beyond that cap and pay more that is your choice and yours alone.

We are not ignoring the Law it's just we cant be bothered with trivia a double yellow is 12 inch to long it matters not if you dont park on it, a non transferable ticket it matters not if you dont transfer it ,and a surcharge on Debit Cards again if it's acceptable to the customer no problem. You can spend your life fighting injustice and you will make gains and embarrass local authoroties from ...

Typical response from Diana Mond. Ignoring the law is not an option however convenient it is to you and others. What would you expect if you did not buy a ticket to park one way or another? that is the latest question to you. If the law allowed this charge (which it doesn't) then fine. And it is not just London. In an excerpt that I gave you above, you will note DCC did it as well. You ...

You’re talking about a credit card fee for parking in London, I’m talking about a 10p “convenience fee” in Exeter. A fee I readily agree to because of the, erm, convenience that paying for parking this way brings me. I’m too busy in the real world to bother taking ECC to task for something so trivial.

You are trying to say that it doesn't matter how you pay, if you want to pay more than is relevant, that is ok. Well let me tell you, the law does not allow the LA to take any more than that which is covered under a TRO, even if you wish to give more voluntarily. You do alot of talking, how about you walking the walk and take Exeter city council to task for taking more than is legally ...
