Council moves to close illegal


parking loophole 2,000 more tickets will be issued each year


Bt JoeRedmoxd Twter: gdrar.trtssr


Lancashire County Council will issue an estimated 2,000 more parking tickets per year after dosing an illegal parking loophole.


The council will now be able to clamp down on those who park illegally, but get drive away before receiving a pen- alt)-. .


At presentapenaltynotice


is issued by post i f someone is seen parking illegally but drives away before the pen- alt)-can be given. But that can only hap­


pen i f the enforcement of­ ficer has finished writing


and printing the ticket. However a decision w a s '


agreed by county councillor and cabinet member for high­ ways and transport County Coun. John Fillis, meaning that someone who drives off while receiving a penalty will still get their ticket, even if the . officer has only started writ­ ing it out. County Coun. Fillis said:


There are a number of plac­ es across Lancashire where there are parking restrictions for very good reasons, but they are difficult to enforce because people park illegal­ ly for short periods knowing they can move before a penalty notice can be issued. These are often very busy


places where people want to drop children at schooL or


visit a shop, takeaway, or cash machine and think that they can parking illegally for short periods knowing they can move before a penalty can be issued. However, it does of­ ten cause a problem because when one driver leaves anoth­ er arrives soon after, creating congestion and an ongoing negative impact on those us­ ing the area. "Adopting thispractice will


allow us to provide a stronger deterrent to drivers whose il­ legal parking has a detrimen­ tal impact on an area, but who drive away before a penalty can be issued." The county council has


said that this does not affect the way parking is enforced in any other way across Lan­ cashire.

Pupils attwo RibbleValleyschoolshave been celebrating their harvest festival by thinking about those much less fortunate than themselves. Children from Chatburn CE Primary School and Brookside Primary School in Clitheroe chose to make donations to Rib- ble Valley Food Bank, bringing in tins and packets of food, but also muchneeded items such as washing powder, toothpaste andbaby wipes. Head teacher at Chatburn Mrs Emma Gar­


diner, said: “I am so proud that the children felt so passionately about helping others in our local community that they have tirade such a great effort to collect gifts for the food bank.” At Brookside the harvest festival was led by the Rev. Andy Gray from St James’ Church, who shared the story of the “Feeding of the Five Thousand”. The school also presented the food bank’s manager Ruth Haldane with a donation for £200 which it had re­ ceived from house builders Taylor Wimpey.
