According to the ticket the cars were causing an unnecessary obstruction parked on the pavement.
I can understand the idiots who were parked in the escape lane at the bottom of the hill and those who park on the roundabout but there must have been at least 75 - 100 cars parked on both sides of the road.

My wife got the ticket, and she saw the copper on the bike and like you thought he was policing the escape lane as well. Totally agree that it is likely a money making scheme.
Spoke to an off duty cop earlier who says that if you write in asking for a full explaination vis-a-vis why they issued the ticket the officer concerned has to complete a report and reply so it may well be worth trying that, as it causes them more paperwork in the long run!!
My wife is going to although to keep a clean slate and being a Nurse and needing the car she is going to pay the fixed penalty

Another city fan was on the hill and parked the same but did not get a ticket. I believe it maybe a pc Hunt who issued it but cant get through to Canton police station but I will keep trying to speak with this guy (probably the one on te bike) - If I can't resolve it by phone I will write in just to make him work more before I pay te £30

Another on flaunting the blue badge rules. Book 'em all I would.
It is definately a money making scheme.
I have a disabled badge and I park on Leckwith Road (right opposite the SandMartin) every game. I'm allowed 3 hours without penalty so providing I set my clock and I don't over stay (which I don't) I'm OK. Every game when I return to my car the ones in front and behind are booked, but I'm not.
But of course this begs the question that if I can park there without causing an obstruction, then why can't everyone else unless it is for monetary gain?
BTW Rick if you appeal the fixed penalty is suspended until the adjudicating officer can look at your reasons. The backlog is about 2 months and even if they find that the ticket was issued correct and dismiss the appeal, you still have 14 days to pay the FP before the amount doubles.
