Near 3 Queen Street, Leicester, LE1 1SB

Leicester -

As I observe yet another unsuspecting motorist get a ticket for parking in the Coaches Only parking bay outside the Athena on Queen Street, I can’t help wondering cynically what is the City Council’s intention? Is it to reserve parking for coaches or is it to lure motorists into £35 parking fines? After decades as car parking, when you change the use of said bay isn’t it obvious you need to paint COACHES on the road? Or is the income from fines too lucrative?-3 Queen Street, Leicester, LE1 1SB

Every day I see this car parked here at night and they’re meant to park at least two cars length away from a junction. This is not two cars away from the junction sometime this car is parked even further. I had in the picture showing which makes it very difficult for big cars to turn into the street without going on top of the curb or scratching their wheels.-8 Burdett Way, Leicester, LE4 2DA
