where am I supposed to leave it – you tell me:

He seems to have got the desired sympathy vote in the BTL comments.
“Business park manager Andrew Wenzerul authorised the withdrawal of the penalty notice.He said the double yellows had recently been introduced onsite to ease congestion and understood some drivers were not yet aware of them.”
I thought yellow lines took the form they do (i.e. Yellow lines painted on the road) precisely so that drivers don’t need a letter in triplicate from the Ministry of Transport and daily text message alerts from all concerned landowners and Highways authorities to warn them of parking restrictions. Just use your eyes, they are there for all to see.
I like how he drags his sadly deceased relative into it.
They’ve cancelled the fine, yet still the article – what more does he want??
Grieving pensioner fined
Grieving pensioner fined outside Poundland on Gillingham Business Park as daughter lay dying in hospital
Church-goer Derek Webb was slapped with a £100 penalty notice after accidentally parking on double yellow lines for 10 minutes while visiting Gillingham Business Park.
He said: “I needed some reading glasses, so I thought I’d just nip in and get them.
“I didn’t see the double yellow lines; it’s not something you’d expect on a business park. I would never have dreamt of parking there if I’d known.”
Business park manager Andrew Wenzerul authorised the withdrawal of the penalty notice.
He said the double yellows had recently been introduced onsite to ease congestion and understood some drivers were not yet aware of them.

Dover man worried about
Dover man worried about parking ticket drove Audi from pub while almost twice drink-drive limit
Magistrates heard he had only driven a short distance before he was found in the car park at 2.20pm on Sunday, July 9, last year.
“He has spoken to his employer and if the ban is not too long, they may be able to live with that.”
Magistrates said his reading of 69 was in the second bracket of their guidelines and, as a result, they were banning Winstanley from driving for 18 months and fining him £461 for the drink-driving offence.
Huge speed bumps at
Huge speed bumps at Canterbury Retail Park are ‘damaging cars’, say drivers
“I can’t see any point in having them that high. It’s not as though they speed along here.”
People are going to lose control, especially young drivers.
Mr Patel added that he had not seen speeding or ‘boy racer’ behaviour in the car park.
“Although they stop people stealing stuff and rushing out of the place, they’re still too high even for that.”

‘Ignored’ Exeter roadblocks protestors say ‘we’re not surprised’
But supporters of the LTN say the decision to continue with the trial was the right one
Local resident Lorna Devenish added: “We need to be asking ourselves what future we are wanting to build for our city. What do we want to prioritise? The safety of our children or a small inconvenience for people driving around the city?
“Are we serious about beginning to decarbonise our lives, or will our resolve to do this fade at the first push back from car drivers?”

at a guess, someone has
As you say, at a guess, someone has latched onto the freedoms granted to so-called Historic vehicles (no MOT, no ULEZ, £0 VED).
A VINTAGE car more than four decades old has been pulled off the road for being in a poor condition after being spotted by police in a supermarket car park.
Essex Police officers were deployed across Colchester over the weekend as part of the force’s Operation Roadrunner.
The scheme is designed to help reduce the number of casualties on the roads and act on concerns raised by councillors and residents.
During the patrols, officers used a range of tactics to ensure the laws of the roads were being adhered to by drivers, issuing six fixed penalty notices for a range of driving offences.
Words of advice were also given to six other drivers over the course of the weekend operation.
While in Tesco, in Highwoods, the police also discovered a loud 45-year-old car which was being driving at inappropriate speeds.
After preventing the car from being driven out of the car park, officers established it was in an extremely poor condition, so decided to refer the find to the roads policing unit.
Following the arrival of the team, the vehicle was deemed unsafe and not roadworthy and can now no longer be driven on the road.
