Parking meters damaged
I went into town this morning and found that the parking meters had been vandalised. Its one of the big car parks in town with the minimum fee of £1 for two hours parking but if you spend £5 in Sainsburys you get your £1 back.
According to the guy who was trying to repair one, they had all been vandalised with glue so any money put in was jammed but it was virtually impossible to put your registration number into the machine anyway as it looked like a paintbrush had been used to smear glue all over the screen.
Apparently parking charges had been suspended for the day which must be really annoying for the council as today was the food and drink festival in the town with lots of extra visitors.
