Looks like the authorities in Northern Ireland know that they are onto a nice little earner ... but at what cost.
The short termist view of cash to day results in crippled businesses tomorrow, an experience borne out across England and Wales.
To issue 160,000 tickets a year doesn't mean that motorists in Northern Ireland have suddenly become bad parkers ... it means that local authorities and enforcement companies have just struck gold as they are allowed to keep the money raised from parking tickets.

crippled businesses lol its st georges market they are talking about ... the market traders park surrounding the market taking up every space thus leaving no spaces for their customers.. any one from belfast will know this. they have been given a street to park in facing the market yet they ignore it. 60 quid is not bad for 25 years of free parking haha
