Parking points
3:24pm Thu Jan 26, 2012
Mr Douglas Smith, of Foston, complained that there was insufficient signage about parking regulations on Kelham Road, Newark (Visitors Fall Foul Of Parking Ban, Advertiser, January 5).
I would suggest he perhaps should not be driving as his eyesight has to be queried.
There are two large notices at the entrance to the road and smaller signs on every lamppost along the road.
What does Mr Smith want? Obviously, to park his car free of charge in front of other people’s properties and in so doing make Kelham Road dangerous for motorists and pedestrians alike.
Because of this sort of selfishness the residents now have to pay £25 per year for such a privilege and the council taxpayers of Nottinghamshire have lost a considerable amount of income from the initial burst of fines.
Mr Smith should be like the rest of us and park his car in a recognised carpark.
