Local businesses in Whitehaven have been expressing concern that if parking in the town is made too difficult or expensive it may do great harm to the local economy: today I saw an example of another problem.
This afternoon outside the telephone exchange there was a parked car. It was parked illegally though if every car which was parked against the rules in Catherine Street got a ticket there would be an awful lot issued. When there was a court building in Catherine Street, there would often be a prison van parked illegally outside the Telephone exchange while the court was sitting.
Anyway, this afternoon the car parked in pretty much the same place that there used to be an illegally parked prison tranport had two things on the windscreen.
On the inside there was a clearly visible printed sign saying "Midwife on call."
On the outside there was a parking ticket.
Oops.
Unless they have evidence that signs purporting to identify the vehicles of medical personnel are being abused, perhaps Copeland BC should have a little word with the contractors who issue parking enforcement notices for them.
