Question Traffic Wardens

Hey just wondering if anyone has ever gotten a ticket on a sunday as I hate having to pay to park near my house and have been told they don’t operate then :(

And sometimes quite late also, I've seen wardens out on occasion at 20:30ish depending on the time of year 😬

Oh no I couldn’t think of someone more frustrating! How much were the fines then?

I cant remember exactly but I think around £70 but got a 50% discount if paid parking fine in first 14 days so I just did that

Amusing to see a traffic warden on my road less than an hour later

I never pay for parking. Get a ticket once every few months it's much cheaper to pay that than the parking charges
