Council says wardens urged to take 'common sense approach'
Lincolnshire County Council says its parking officers are urged to take a 'common sense approach' when issuing tickets. It follows claims from a Lincoln man that he was issued a parking ticket on his own drive for overhanging yellow lines on the road by one inch.
– Lincolnshire County Council Statement"Mr Wilson has appealed against his ticket, so we will be investigating this. We usually have a decision in around 14 working days. If we find Mr Wilson has been penalised in error we will of course cancel his ticket. Wardens are not paid per ticket or have any other incentives, nor are we making any profit from this service."
