Deary me, it appears someone's being pretty lax about traffic law enforcement.

I go into town most weekdays and that van is nearly always parked there.

I have just asked them again why using the contact form on their website. It appears they don't monitor their twitter account very often or maybe they were ignoring my question

whats the difference?

Apart from the parking problem, i do not ever remember the town hall area looking as clean, vibrant, and colourful.

Thats maybe cos hardly anyone goes down town any more Irene.

Funny thing i just walked down from top of Ossy n noticed a traffic warden noting the times of parked cars etc, This in areas yeh can only park fer so long!!, Shame they dont bother wi Blackburn Rd Accy were yeh aint supposed to park at all.

This is correct, one for them and one for us.

Again - they are the council and they are able to give themselves or seek permission from the government for permission to park there as it is their land, the general public are excluded from this so we cannot park there.

The mayors car will be included in the council permission.

Or the traffic wardens, being employed at some point by the councils may be told to leave vehicles parked there alone if they are obviously council vehicles leave them.

They will likely ignore all requests for clarification of council vehicle parking in that area. You would need to make a proper data request to get full disclosure as they are legally required to answer those.

Grab a traffic warden etc and ask them.

I got a phone call from them a couple of days ago.

Supposedly they have special dispensation from Lancashire County Council to drive and park there.
