The grandad, who has also railed against unfinished double yellow lines and residents\u2019 parking bays in his close, set out how in June he was issued with a ticket for parking for four hours in a two hour bay. Mr Swaine alleged that a parking warden only went after his car when others could have been issued with a penalty.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI know I\u2019m getting targeted. I\u2019m not denying the car was there, if I\u2019ve broken the rules then fine.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just want to meet someone from the council to say we\u2019ve got a problem here and the signs aren\u2019t right. Their job is to make sure every car is being checked.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf these signs are wrong, we\u2019ve been getting parking tickets unnecessarily.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m paying for a ticket and I shouldn\u2019t have to if that\u2019s the case.\u201d<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Liverpool City Council said: \u201cThe limited waiting parking bays on Hornby Road are available for anyone to park in. There is a two-hour limit on the road and any car found to have stayed beyond this limit may be issued a parking fine.<\/p>\n
\u201cHornby Close has a series of parking bays for residents only from 8am to 6pm, which are signposted.<\/p>\n
“During these hours, cars that do not have a valid permit may be issued a parking fine if they are left in the bays.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyone who believes a Penalty Charge Notice was issued unfairly may appeal it through the council website at liverpool.gov.uk\/parking-roads-and-travel\/parking-fines-and-challenges\/challenge-a-parking-fine\/.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The ticket was left anonymously on the windscreen of Mr Swaine’s carRob Swaine said he feels like he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":369510,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[748,393,4884,179,12,1144,712,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-369509","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-liverpool","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-northern-ireland","14":"tag-scotland","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115083267579664416","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=369509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369509\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/369510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=369509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=369509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=369509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
