Well guys ... looks like another attempt at a cover-up has backfired.
While sitting in the bath singing yuletide songs at 9am I received a telephone call.
"Neil, I can smell burning. You had better come into town."
Five minutes later I pulled up on one of their newly marked yellow lines...running through the loading / parking space. Now these locations had recently featured in a BBC Look North piece in which the Council denied that there was anything wrong with the signing in the Park Lane Village CPZ.
This was despite the fact that the DfT had only given them authorisation for the 'combination loading / parking' signs providing that they did not use the loading only legend on the highway.
Today the workers were burning off the Loading Only legends from the highway which had made the bays illegal. As the requirements for the CPZ are that ALL the streets are covered with lawful restrictions the CPZ falls ... and along with it goes every ticket issued in Park Lane Village CPZ.
I am sure that there will be an announcement offering refunds in time for Christmas.

i would very much doubt that there will be any refunds given so i wouldnt hold your breath yet again another piece of incompetence on behalf of the council and ncp. there may already be a dog track in sunderland but i think the rest of sunderland is going to the dogs as well.
Not one of the management at ncp knew what was going on? this is complete and utter rubbish.
Ironic how mute a Company can be whilst the big fat paycheck is still coming in. Once they get caught out, it's shock,horror, we had no idea!!!
