Edinburgh City Council has always been ripped because of it’s totally over zealous parking enforecement.

Now comes news that the 1 mile long George Street had 20,000 parking tickets in 2004 garnering £900,000.

Almost £15.8m was raked in during the 12 months to April 2003 in fines, meter charges and permits compared to the £8.24m in the year up until April 1999, the first year the “Blue Meanies” took over parking regulation from the police.

This is obviously a bad story because none of the slimeballs in power have come out it is down spokeswoman to say: “We try to make the regulations as easy to understand as possible and a five-minute grace period is given in most circumstances.
