A Bristol woman has described her parking nightmare, in which "every single car" on her street was given a ticket after markings were resprayed 'without notice'. Tabitha Read, 33, says parking on Hinton Road "does not meet the needs of residents," who have no other option but to park outside their homes where there are restrictions in place.
Tabitha, mum to three-month-old Lyla, says parking on Hinton Road, just off Fishponds Road, is restricted to two hours, with no return within four hours. She says this is "ridiculous" as there is no need for restrictive parking as the street is mostly residential with no shops or takeaways.
The parking ordeal came to a head on Saturday (May 7) when parking boxes on Hinton Road were resprayed without notice, which meant "every single car" on the street was left with a parking ticket, Tabitha claims. She says it was "cruel" of Bristol City Council to respray the markings on a Saturday when cars will be parked on the street, adding the situation has caused her a "lot of stress."
