Parking signs changed after ticket appeal

A CAMPAIGNER has scored a victory in his battle against what he says are illegal parking signs in Bolton.
Bolton Council has changed signs in its car parks across the town following a complaint from Barry Moss.
The signs said vehicles "must park within a parking space", but did not explicitly state they must be "wholly" within an allotted bay.

That was the reason why the National Parking Adjudication Service overturned a ticket handed to Mr Moss's daughter-in-law, Tracey Pilkington.
The mother-of-four, of Park Road, Westhoughton, parked her Vauxhall Tigra five-inches over the parking space line at the Topp Way car park in Bolton, last December. The council has since altered all 24 signs to include the word "wholly".
Mr Moss, aged 61, of Hindley Road, Daisy Hill, was informed of the changes to the signs in a letter from the council's parking manager, Sheila Jackson.
Referring to the decision made by adjudicator Stephen Knapp, Ms Jackson stressed that each appeal was judged on its own merits and that the council had been successful on other occasions.
Ms Jackson added: "Therefore, this decision does not make parking enforcement in Bolton illegal and there is no reference to this anywhere in Mr Knapp's decision.
"However, Bolton Council has now taken independent legal advice and you will be pleased to hear that the signs on the off-street car parks are to be amended to reflect Mr Knapp's comments."
Mr Moss welcomed the council's move, but said: "The council should have got its signs right in the first place and these changes are costing taxpayers' money.
"Even though they are changing the signs they are still not admitting they were in the wrong and they are still not issuing refunds to people who got tickets."
Parking wardens earned more than £1 million for the council by issuing nearly 45,000 tickets between April, 2006, and March, 2007.
The £60 fines are reduced to £30 if paid within two weeks.
