One Sunday morning recently my 85-year-old father-in-law parked his car in the car park off Clarence Street and paid for a two-hour stay from 11.53am.
He returned to his car with my wife and myself at 2.05pm to find a parking ticket for £60 because he was just 12 minutes over his time.
I am disgusted with this over-zealous parking attendant.
I hope he is pleased with himself for frightening an elderly man who was worried sick.
The loony Liberals have a lot to answer for with their outrageous so- called policies on parking and incompetent development schemes such as the Barbican and Derwenthorpe which have not been thought through and are not wanted by the local residents.
They should be thrown out of office in disgrace.
