Green Goblins, Newbury's 'Civil' Enforcement Options

[munch]

I know that this has probably been discussed before, however after my recent present from the green goblins of Newbury I feel that this is an issue that needs to be raised again!

I must be honest I used to express little sympathy for those who had fallen foul to the attractive green notice attached to their cars but now my opinions have changed.

I have been parking in the same street for months and have never seen any signs indicating that this is a restricted street, when I left work yesterday I saw the lovely green notice attached to my car and actually felt a little sick inside!

I know that these guys are doing a job and do serve a purpose for those who feel it is acceptable to park dangerously, however my car was not causing any obstruction or danger to anyone!

I have lived in West Berkshire pretty much my whole life and actually feel a bit upset by this! If I had previously recieved a polite notice outling the parking restrictions on this area I would happy seek alternative arrangements for parking (although I do feel robbed by the charge of £1 per hour for parking in Newbury!)
