Motorists you have been warned!

LIKE speed cameras for the police, parking tickets are seen by many as just a revenue earner for the council.

So when something happens that might bring the cash flooding in, you’d have thought those at Welwyn Hatfield Council would keep quiet about it.
Not so.

A press release landed in the WHT’s email inbox this week telling visitors to the Campus East council offices in WGC not to park in the adjacent College Way.

It read: “The limited waiting bays closest to the rear of the Campus East offices have been replaced with a loading bay.

“The bay is for goods vehicles only during the period Monday to Saturday 8am to 6pm.

“Penalty Charge Notices will be issued to any vehicle parked in the bay during restricted hours. The disabled bays are still available to Blue Badge holders.”

The release ended: “Please make sure you check the sign plates before parking your vehicle.”

So if you happen to get a ticket now, you can’t say you weren’t warned!
