Parking

I remember with interest the campaign which the Echo participated in with respect to the illegal signs of the 30 mph speed limit on a Devon road. This resulted in substantial sums of money being returned to drivers who had paid speeding fines.
May I take the opportunity to point out the current situation in Exeter with regard to the issuing of tickets for contravention of parking restrictions. Now I may be wrong, but I don't think I am, but I think that all parking tickets issued in Exeter after early May are in fact not legitimate. My reasoning is that I have heard through my very good grapevine that Parliament has not passed the correct legislation to enable the correct implementation of Civil Parking Enforcement. Maybe if MPs worried more about getting legislation correct rather than worrying about their expenses the world would be a better place.
Accordingly, may I suggest that all Exeter residents appeal against any tickets issued. May I finish by saying that Exeter officers and councillors should immediately stop the wasteful excercise of setting up committees to continue the Unitary status bid. This is not good enough.
