  • Night-time parking £260 per hour 21 Aug 2007 (Forum)
    (to half a mile away), £60 for parking fine. Ouch. The car was unarguably illegally parked. But what prompt response! The tow charges strike me as wholly disproportionate, a little like bank overdraft letter charges. The Council runs two levels of parking fine - £40 for minor offences, and £60
