THE despicable action of the council of sending traffic wardens out at 7am on November 1 to check whether residents' parking permits around the Central Drive area had been renewed defies belief.

If they were as diligent about the overall parking situation then well and good but this is ridiculous especially at that early hour. It would serve them right if all the residents produced their permits and they would have to revoke their fines.

The whole parking system is an utter disgrace, but then everything in this town is a shambles. Does the mayor's car get booked? It is nearly always illegally parked. This is blatant discrimination.
