General Discussion

Just received the following from a friend up country.

FYI

This one hour programme “Parking Mad” produced by Century Films is to be broadcast next Tuesday 8th January. BBC1 at 10.35pm.

It is about parking campaigners who fight wrongful enforcement. A preliminary screening has been seen and I’m told it’s excellent.

Only a fraction of the 600 hours of footage taken over many months, it is an hour long

It's worth fighting if you can stand the bureaucracy of it.  I've done it twice and won both times.  But of course all this means is that I've tied up resources of the local council and who pays for that - we do through taxes.

Its supposed to be self financing, I understand from an official that they (CEO's) are instructed to issue at least 9 PCN's a day, which of course the council deny.

It is supposed to be for traffic calming and congestion.

I think the point of the progam is to prove the corruption taking place in some councils re parking legislation. Adjudicator organisation receive 65p for every ticket issued thoughout england with the exception being London.
