Parking peril

Ben Turner
14/ 5/2008

DRIVERS beware – YOU will be footing the bill for a new army of traffic wardens...with 5,680 parking fines per year.

For today is Macclesfield’s Warden Wednesday, and 20 fully-trained parking police are eager to earn their wheel-spinning £283,980 in joint annual salaries. And that’s where your double-yellow line blunders become a valuable commodity.

   What a good initiative, i am delighted with this news. Looking smart and authoritative, these Wardens will add some much needed discipline to the motor madness that dominates Macc. And at over 14K a year we should have no manpower issues meaning this Zero Tolerance policy is a success, with council coffers full and motorists taking more responsibility. Its a win-win situation.

   Would one of these shiny new traffic wardens like to visit Tytherington shops to ticket people who dump their white vans and Chelsea tractors all over the pavements?

There's a big pub car park over the road which seems to be completely invisible to some drivers.
