Good policing by the council or just madness?
Commuter accuses West Berkshire Council of having no common sense for refusing her offer to pay 20p parking debt A commuter has accused West Berkshire Council of having no common sense, after it refused to let her pay a 20p ‘debt.’ Deborah Clarkson, of East Grafton, who regularly commutes to work from Hungerford train station, accidentally paid the old fee of £2.20 for a day’s parking in the station car park, about two weeks after the charge had risen to £2.40 in April. Rest of the story below: http://www.newburytoday.co.uk/News/Article...articleID=10818 What do you think? Should she have been allowed to have paid the extra 20p or were WBC right to persecute her until she pays up or suffers a public hanging; in other words... should she have been more observant? |
