WBC parking con. Last year WBC put up signs in Old Bath Road (and in other areas) stating that the free parking that was will now be charged. This charging will be by phone (only). They put up signs last year (2014) stating "WARNING On-street charging in operation wef ["With Effect From"] Monday 28 July Pay by phone only". Notice no year date on that sign! There are reasons for this. After that date last year (28 July 2014) charges were put into operation, and people started paying. All fine so far.Some of you may have noticed that 2014 has gone, but not those signs. Therefore, people are parking there from outside Newbury and upon seeing those signs, and reading them as those charges will take effect from 28 July (of this year, as there are no year dates on those signs). I have reported this to WBC and the Traffic wardens that they are misleading, and because of this people will park there without paying (under the belief that they are free to park there until Monday July 28th). Every traffic warden I have spoken to knew this, but I got the impression they are still there to mislead; for the purpose to help increase WBA parking revenue. As I said to two of the Traffic Wardens, "Your job seems to be there to uphold the rules and make sure payment is received to WBC, while WBC's objective is to deceive the honest and hardworking driver for their own profit benefits". They just smiled.I often go past those signs, and the cars that are parked there, and you are still seeing notices on certain cars for failing to pay. A perfect con. free upload upload a gif
