ONE minute the council say that they are short of cash. Then comes a great opportunity to make thousands of extra pounds in selfish parking.

I had a stroll around the beach area over the weekend and did not see a traffic warden at all.

Every Friday in Westbourne they could make a fortune in the morning but they are frightened it seems of upsetting the rich footballers and the coffee fanatics who selfishly park on the zig zags, disabled spaces, yellow lines, double park and basically do what they want as the traffic wardens do not start until the ‘other selfish lot’ have moved on.

More revenue lost.

It is time that the council made an example of the lazy drivers once and for all.

The message would soon wake them up.
