RE your recent article about a police crackdown on illegal parking in Accrington.
Please forgive me for being cynical, but that very same night travelling towards Church from Accrington I encountered five cars on Blackburn Road parked on the pavement on double yellow lines. This caused a hold-up in the flow of traffic due to having to wait while there was a lull in oncoming traffic.
The galling part was that legal parking was available on the opposite side but that meant walking across the road.
This makes a complete mockery of the announcement by police of a stern crackdown on illegal parking. it seems it only applies from nine till five.
