Posh Car Free Parking in Oakham

When I was a Town Councillor members of the public brought to my attention parking enforcement officers were turning a blind eye to those who are bit well off compared with the rest of the population of Oakham.

I spoke to the parking manager to let him know that people were concerned, his staff seemed to have arrangements with some very well off local drivers and gave him details I was given. He told me things were changing.

Many months have passed and people are still noticing tickets are not being issued to certain drivers.

This week I spotted a member of the public who is so fed up , they have taken to issuing their own tickets!

I would like to know why these cars are being ignored most can be left in one hour bays all day, while a shopper can be five minutes over and receive a fine.
