Town hall parking tickets may not be validby Steve White,

All parking tickets issued in a town since 2008 could be void after the council failed to update traffic by-laws.
Chris Fisher, 39, spotted Hyndburn council cites the out-of-date 1991 Road Traffic Act when he was ticketed in Accrington, Lancs.
The printer contacted Neil Herron, of Parking Appeals, who is now urging all motorists ticketed by the authority since the new Act took over in 2008 to appeal. He said: “This is a major blunder.”
The council insisted tickets were legal but referred cases to the parking adjudicator.
