Parking Brighton and Hove Xmas Day (Merged)

[Ronnie]

Make sure you park legally as there will be Parking Wardens out and about on Xmas Day Not a lot of of Ho Ho Ho ! ! !

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Are they legally allowed to touch your car other than placing the ticket on the windscreen? What about if your car happened to be covered in snow?

 

[desprateseagull]

so much for the xmas spirit.. no day off for traffic wardens

Traffic wardens will patrol in Brighton and Hove on Christmas Day From The Argus)

 

[The Peanut Roaster]

Just shows they're Billy no mates.

Wankers.

If they can't see through the windscreen because of ice/snow, they can't ticket you.

I was told this the other day by one of our dykey bluebottles.

Wankers.

Not sure about double yellows etc though.

Er, its not their fault. Its the men at the top to blame who have ordered them to work who, strangely, will be having the day off while their minions tramp the cold streets

Veg, I'd bet they don't have to work on Xmas day, they choose to.

I'd imagine that there are plenty of accidents for the emergency services to contend with on Christmas day and it would be foolhardy to let everyone park where they wanted to.

 

[Westdene Wonder]

Comments now suggest that the Argus are incorrect and that staff will not be on duty.

 

[BensGrandad]

Is Christmas Day not a bank holiday so parking on yellow lines is permitted, I thought.

 

[vegster]

I mean that the footslogging traffic wardens would have been told they are working, can you seriously believe that anyone would choose to work on Christmas Day unless told to ?.. I'm sure their bosses whill be sat around a roaring fire drinking though..

 

[ali jenkins]

Bank holidays arent included in the paking restrictions unless it says so on the road signs.

 

[Poyetry In Motion]

Nothing will ever convince me that ticketing motorists on Xmas day is nothing more than a money making scheme. Keep the traffic moving my arse......moan moan moan

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

why do some of these pricks stroll around in ray bans thinking their part of some para military set up

 

[Blackadder]

Unbeliveable! Brighton is one of the worst cities in the WORLD for parking. Can't have one day off! Tight Gits!

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Two things

A mate used to be a pound clerk, and always volunteered to do Xmas overtime, as it paid really well, and he lived on his own. I would have thought parking attendants in a similar situation would volunteer, while the family types take it off?

Also, in the not too distant past, there would be a single parking attendant and a tow-away driver on stand-by to tow away any obstructively parked cars, which makes sense, rather than what is proposed now. It's the quietest day of the year, so as long as people's cars aren't causing an obstruction, why the heavy handed approach?

Crime never rests, even for Xmas

Can you run that one passed me again, you can park on yellow lines on a bank holiday ?

Just park legally and you have no worries.

In many places parking restrictions do not apply on single yellow lines ona bank holiday but do on double yellow lines.
