Parking tickets
Is anyone else getting parking tickets parking outside their houses in Browning, Moore, Scott Streets, or elsewhere, where vehicles are parked on the parking strip? I know of three occasions in recent months where Parking Wardens have been in our street issuing tickets.
I have known this strip, like a footpath, but without a kerb, as a parking strip.
The Council say: "Browning Street is a narrow street and consequently on one side of the street the kerb has been dropped to allow for vehicles to move over to allow other vehicles to pass should the need arise. It is not a parking strip. It is a footpath designed for pedestrian traffic".
This strip has been outside my property, I think, for about 15 years and I had understood it was to widen the gap between parked vehicles so other vehicles, especially larger ones like ambulances and fire trucks, to be able to drive through. In all the time this strip has been there, residents and visitors have been parking on it.
There is a footpath on the opposide side of the street, which has a grass berm and a kerb.
I wonder how many tickets have been issued and what other residents think about this.
I understand from the Council that the Parking Warden/Issuing Officer was not patrolling the area, but responding to a complaint from someone unable to walk along the "footpath". It seems they are not expected to cross the street or walk around the vehicles.
