A few weeks ago, my sister called in to see me for approximately 15 minutes.

When she left, she had a parking ticking on her car, stating: “11 minutes on double yellow lines.”

Since this incident, I have seen four vehicles all parked on double yellow lines. One vehicle was there for approximately four hours, not 11 minutes like my sister.

This has taken place in my road and the surrounding roads.

And, to top it all, it was a Saturday, one of the busiest days of the week when all and sundry park their vehicles in the well-known Colony.

I note the traffic warden was nowhere in sight.
