‘Hats’ the way..?
I was dismayed to see motorists receiving parking tickets in Pier Road and in the Windmill car park on Thursday from traffic wardens who were not wearing their hats/caps, which I am led to believe they must do when issuing tickets.
I urge any motorists receiving a penalty notice to contest this, as it was not issued in the correct way.

I look forward to reading replies to my letter.
