Thou shalt not flout yellow lines on Sunday
TRAFFIC wardens have been booking motorists ignoring parking regulations in Burry Port and Kidwelly on a Sunday.
Six offenders in Elkington, Road Burry Port, were booked at the weekend and in Kidwelly driver’s rushed to move their vehicles to avoid a ticket as the wardens made spot checks.
The Sunday checks were made at the request of police following complaints from residents that Sunday drivers were ignoring and flouting parking regulations causing inconvenience and danger to road users.
County executive board member for transport services Cllr Philip Hughes said: “People are under the misapprehension that wardens work 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday when in fact our transport department can assign them to areas where there are safety or congestion issues to help resolve them.
“The message is if motorists flout the parking regulations they run the risk of receiving a parking ticket at any time.”
