just looked out and saw 2 of them ticketing cars of people collecting their kids from the friday fun club in the community centre.
yes they were on double yellows but not causing any obstruction, all rather ironic as the local bus service has been unable to get through all day.
revenue gathering seems to be more important.

whilst on the subject of parking this morning the only way of hailing a bus was to step out in front of fast moving traffic.
and in the afternoon.

Maybe someone called them, Howard. The trouble is that there is no parking allowed (unless you have a disabled pass) at anytime on a double yellow line. Sad though if you've been caught.

Behind the Dover Community Association building on MD road, if this is the one, there is ample (private) parking. Too much lazy parking, judging by the street-view through Google, with cars parked hard against the rear (emergency?) exit - tut tut - .
Similarities here with the Wood Burner thread:Convenience verses effort.
If parking is such a bother, what trouble would these cars have of regaining a spot once 'home' again?

Perhaps the fining of fag-end flinging is to save the Country's image:
people picking up fag-ends as in post-war Germany, recycling them and using them as a means of barter....

IF this is true then PLEASE get in touch with your County Councillor to get them removed and free up valuable parking spaces.
IF!

Single yellow lines mean no parking during the working day, broken yellow lines mean no parking for less than the working day, double yellow lines mean no parking for more than the working day. Signposts should state what those hours are.
Loading and unloading is allowed on yellow lines that do not have kerb markings. Signposts again state for how long. Even on roads with double yellows and kerb markings a dispensation can be asked for from the local council, ie in the case of removal vans, scaffolders lorries etc.

Some people never learn, Sunday at breakfast time the wardens normally appear and today they got two cars in Clarendon Street that were partly parked on double yellow lines, one each side of the road.

They could do with going along the sea front tonight, given the number of camper vans etc parked along there.

But they will at least move on unlike the many unwanted and abandoned cars around Clarendon etc.I believe that scrap cars are worth very little now hence so many dumped.
