WITH reference to the two letters (July 9 and 14) about parking tickets, a couple of weeks ago there was a car parked outside King George's Hall in Blackburn, and it was parked the wrong way on a one way street with no ticket on it and it had been parked there for approximately 90 minutes (as we returned to our car).
I checked to see if there was a ticket on it and there wasn't although there was a parking attendant who had clearly just passed the car.
My wife went to ask the parking attendant why he had not booked the car and his answer was amazing. He said "the car is illegally parked and therefore it is a police matter so I can't book it."
Can someone please tell me what the role of a parking attendant is?
Is it to book cars when they are illegally parked, when there is no one around, or is it because there was a wedding on at King George's Hall and there were plenty of people around?
