Regardless of what is decided, I am doubtful the sole traffic warden I see once a month will bother.

Minimal traffic wardens, who only seem to work normal working hours results in parking laws only ever applied in normal working hours.

The moment its an evening or weekend, people seem to be able to park wherever they please.

the wardens around here target "problem" place.ere they can catch lots of people quickly, over problem areas where there is a real issue. For example untill recently there was no where to stop outside our local post sorting office, so people just risked it, and the wardens would wait, they have finally put some spaces here and it's no longer an issue

As a chronic car user, I live in a dreaded fear of that one warden - I can't afford their fines

Its really simple to avoid fines! Just one simple trick to avoid all fines, forever!

Don’t park like an asshole. Park legally. Park further, legally, and walk if you have to.
