I NOTE the article on the parking penalties at Littledown Drive.

Good old Bournemouth Council. Can we fine you? Can we make you pay? Of course we can and its our civic duty to do so.

There is no higher calling, to serve our taxpayers and make money from, sorry, for them.

At Littledown Drive, illegal parking on a Bank Holiday – pay us – an honest understandable mistake – pay us.

And we got you just within the 3pm deadline. That was close, nearly lost a money-making opportunity, it’s for your own good you know.

We are happy to foster good relations towards our community and to promote goodwill around our local football team, proud to be of service.

Yours, the council.
