What cars do to people: Driver attacks traffic warden in street with wooden pole
Police said a 41-year-old man was arrested and the incident was dealt with by a Community Resolution, which saw him pay for the victim’s damaged earphones
In this case, it looks like white van man bit off more than he could chew.

Seething Dartmouth trader fined as regatta visitors swamp town
The owner of an independent business in Dartmouth has blasted the impact of the town’s annual regatta after he received a parking ticket.
Barry Hemmings, owner of Shopdeadgorgeous on Foss Street, says the car park he would normally use when loading and unloading into his shop has been closed off for the event, prompting him to instead park on nearby Market Street. He claims he returned to his vehicle 10 minutes later to find he had been issued with a penalty charge notice (PCN).
A spokesperson for Devon County Council said: “Loading is considered a continuous activity and our parking team would have observed the vehicle, initially 20 minutes casual observation followed by five minutes constant observation. If no loading was seen we would have issued a Penalty Charge Notice.

Tory leader [of opposition] questions motives behind Medway Council red-route plans
He has revealed the scheme was put forward as part of an annual council “star chamber” meeting where suggestions are made for ideas on reducing spending or increasing revenue.
[The Labour leader] said: “If the previous administration viewed red routes purely as a money-making scheme, that says a lot more about them than it does for Medway’s new Labour administration.
“We are getting on with delivering the things residents have told us they want to see in Medway, less congestion and cleaner air.”

Amal Bafaqih has vowed to fight the matter in court
“The yellow box between me and the other car is clear – there’s nothing. Yes, fair enough, I shouldn’t go on the yellow line – but it is just an inch. And every driver is not going to carry a tape measure, get out of the car, and measure the distance between you and the yellow line. That’s ridiculous.”
I checked the photo with my wife, “is that more that an inch?” I asked her, and for once, she agreed that it was.
