TODAY IN BOLTON... Council do a Cover Up but on Pay and Display machines (Not Good Enough.)








CLICK ON THE PICS TO MAKE THEM LARGER

Sorry! these pics look like they've been put on at random, bit like the bays really.


IF YOU CAN SPOT A LEGAL BAY IN THESE PICS YOU GET A TENNER OFF COUNCILLOR PEEL. because I am sure he would be more than happy to give a tenner away to find a legal bay anywhere in Bolton. THESE BAYS ARE ALL IN CHURCH BANK. the Echelon Bays (1033 bay) are invisible, but there may be the odd millimetre about eh Nick, but there's still not enough paint here to make a line let alone a bay.

The Illegal Parking Bay issue will get worse before it gets better, it appears some of you have fallen into Labour Councillors Nick Peels trap of Politics, Mr Peel is the chairman of The Car Parking Policy Development Group of which a meeting was held yesterday, it was hurriedly brought forward by nearly three weeks to yesterday, This meeting was held in camera, the public were not invited which is against council policy, only an executive meeting can be held in camera (Without the Public)the reply formulated from that meeting is the reply you have just read from Mr Peel in page 2 of today's Bolton News, Mr Peel has been totally misinformed by the Council, if he or any other member of the council thinks it is about Millimetres they are totally wrong, Mr Peel has lied through his back teeth to the Bolton News, and the people of Bolton, furthermore, I would call Mr Peel a liar to his face on National TV, if it was about Millimetres I would not have brought the Parking issue up at all and had I done so, it would have been soon been shot down because there is a legal term which the Bolton Legal and Parking services would have used as a get out, the term is De Minimis Non Curat Lex meaning ‘The law does not concern itself with trifles', why did the Council not use this legal get out if it is about Millimetres, Mr Peel I am no idiot and neither are the public, you have lied to the Public through a newspaper, retract your statement publicly, resign and move away, the good citizens of Bolton do not want the likes of liars acting on their behalf. The illegal bays are illegal because they are Unlawful Hybrids, they are a hotchpotch of several types of bays of which there are only four and Bolton Council cannot get even one bay correct, but even if Mr Peel was telling a semblance of truth, what about the bays that are illegal because of missing lines, take a walk down church bank, the bays are invisible, no lines exist at all except the odd millimetre, perhaps this is what Mr Peel is referring to when he is talking about Millimetres and if it is about Millimetres watch the workmen around Le-Mans Crescent when they remove the special paint, they will not be putting the paint back, they will be completely transforming the Bay to make it legal so they can hold onto your Parking Fine lawfully, but I bet you a pound to a penny it will still be illegal when it's finished because no one in the Highways Dept whose job it is to make sure everything is OK do not have a clue what they are doing. if the Council are going to take £60 off you then they must use the law to take it. You can ask for restitution from the council, write a letter and ask them for your money back, if they won't give it you go to the Police and ask them to investigate a criminal offence of FRAUD. here is an email received today from Bolton Council who have been stalling over ceasing enforcement because they say they are relying on Chapter 5 of the Traffic Signs Manual.
Dear Mr Moss Please find below the answer to your question.
Bolton Council is bound by the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 as this is a regulation. It also uses Chapter 5 of the Traffic Signs manual to put into context, apply, interpret and install. We refer back to the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 if there is any discrepancy between the two documents. I have been using the Traffic Signs and General Directions 2002 which is a Statutory Instrument to hammer home to Bolton Council of why the bays are illegal, Chapter 5 of the Traffic Signs manual not only reinforces my allegations but overturns their argument completely. the operative words in the email are BOLTON COUNCIL ARE BOUND BY. Here is an extract from the first paragraph of the Traffic Signs Manual.
1. Introduction.
1.1 The Traffic Signs Manual is intended to give advice to traffic authorities and their agents on the correct use of signs and road markings.
Mandatory requirements are set out in the current version of the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions; nothing in the manual can override these.
so that's it in a nutshell, I am right and the Council are wrong and Nick Peel is a LIAR.
