I refer to last week's Guardian in which a resident complained at having a ticket put on his car at 6.40am. He forgot to mention the car was there all the previous evening, so therefore he deserved the fine.
Most of us who live in Shap Crescent have this problem. I have often parked in the next road to save parking on the pavement and my partner recently sold her car because she was fed up with the parking situation round here.
Whilst sympathising with anyone who gets parking tickets generally, I must say I think it very arrogant of Mr Gibson to expect to get preferential treatment by being given a parking space.
If he did get it there will be a lot of angry neighbours who would also like space to park.
The problem could be helped if the many untaxed cars on this part of the estate were removed.
