Please can I warn your readers of the new parking restrictions at the top end of St Stephen’s Road to the rear of the Town Hall?

There are two signs at the start of the restriction saying “permit holders only” in marked parking bays and one red sign saying “new parking restrictions” on one side of the road.

I have just received a fixed penalty notice but feel that the warning signs are not enough and that surely a marked parking bay is one with “permit holders only” written in the space, or with signs along the road in more prominent positions.

I was not the only person who has been confused by these new restrictions and left with a £35 fine.
