Fined for stopping in a bus stop. On Christmas Day. With no buses running.

Leicester City Council are apparently showing all the sensitivity, compassion, and unerring ability to turn a potential good news story into a PR disaster one has come to expect of petty council bureaucrats, by insisting on fining a driver who had stopped to help a homeless person. Because it's apparently dangerous to stop at that bus stop when you're not a bus, even on Christmas Day when there are no buses, and hardly any other traffic either. blink.gif

There is the one obvious question on why a council feels the need to issue PCNs when buses aren't running..... the answer to that is cash, not need or traffic management.
And the second obvious question about why 141 people felt the need to drive in a bus lane anyway?
But the comments are as clueless as always.....
"Just pay it back at a pound a month you haven't refused to pay it so they can't touch you for it...." uhm, wrong, £30 at discount becomes £60 at full wack, becomes £90 at CC stage and then bailiffs appear with their costs
