Are you serious!!! Fined for parking on a line? Wow, the UK is more petty and fucked up than I thought! Fines for TV licences, fines for not paying Housing tax, fines for videoing near some statues, fines, fines, fines! And Evictions by the bucket load! What a sad miserable country the UK has turned into.
BallaratDragon: UK has turned to a horrible country, it's worse in the hand of these government, local authorities [London borough councils or whatever they call themselves].They don't allow a breathing space, it's a nightmare! I once had an issue with the local authority regarding my rent arrears, and the lady officer i[in charge of my case] said that she's gonna arranged for my children to be taking away from me so that I would be thrown on the street. I can't believe my ears, so to speak. We're being tormented physically, emotionally and mentally by the government that had once sworn to look after its peoples. Too bad, too bad!
@@nescafegoldblend3490 I applaud you I had a friend who was thrown out of his home due to the Bedroom Tax after his elderly Mum had passed away freeing up a room, my friend had a breakdown after she died because Doreen had raised Jamie alone after his Dad (for want of a better word) walked out on them 5 weeks after he was born and she never met anyone else giving Jamie everything for 18 years he only moved in with her when she became so ill in later life that she became so dependant on him, I clearly remember him saying to me as i picked him up the day he moved back in with her " She could have thrown me into a home like other parents do so they can have their old life back but she raised me on her own took me to school then went to work before picking me up and taking me home just to do it again the next day and the day after that Jamie wanted to keep the house he was raised in by his mum for the memories yet his pleas to pay off the arrears and keep his family home fell on deaf ears with the local council their reply ? " You're not the first and you certainly won't be the last" how can these people look themselves in the mirror I have a fabulous idea !!! If people are being evicted as a punishment for falling into debt due to being on benefits let Her Majesty invite some poor soul to move into Buckingham palace until they find other means of Accommodation as i hear the Palace have a few bedrooms they could rent out ??? R.I.P Doreen 09.11.2012 ❤️🙏🌹❣️💔.
@@solagesture.9982 No, the only wrong was people like you CONSTANTLY running this beautiful country down. And real Brits are sick of it. Stop being so negative about your own nation and constantly looking for ways to run it down.
I am sorry you were treated this way. "Professionals" like this are an outrage to the TRUE, hard working, courageous, honest law enforcement professionals who truly care about the public and protecting them. It disgusts me that she said she felt threatened by you when YOU were perfectly calm and SHE was the one who was threatening. I am glad you took action. It is not easy to do so for many for fear of retribution. So proud of you!!!
you should send this to local councillor and request and investigation and also request this person is retrained or removed from dealing with the public. she is confrontational she is a lair and if she had any respect for the council she worked for she would have got in the van an drove away without this agressive interaction I cannot stand public sector workers who misbehave.I have been a public worker for over 20 year and it makes me made to see other behaving badly if I came across any our workers behaving this way I would id myself and ask the t go back to base. The public have a right to be treated with a level of professionalism. this lady do not have anywhere near a professional manner about her, she is a disgrace.
Because we are ruled by idiots who create rules to their benefit not ours, and then they employ fools who are empowered to play god with those who are actually trying to make the country work. Question answered?
And there they are on double yellow lines and they knew it - see the way they moved quick when they saw you coming ! She's done her employers no favours standing spouting rubbish and contradicting herself about single and double lines. She's advocating "do as I say not do as I do". Well done Mansoor !
Good on you SIR well done for pointing out to them their incredible stupidity, some of these individuals are totally bonkers the feeling of authority goes straight to their heads.
Although I already had a job I applied to be a parking enforcement officer for a laugh, on my day off I took their test scored 97%, at the interview she asked me "what would you do if someone spat in your face" , my answer was honest and not what she wanted to hear.
She looks like an obstruction to herself tbh It's a good job all she has to do is hold a tiny camera and write tickets occasionally. She seems as thick as the lines they were parked on.
rent, food, electric yano provide for the family ... I hate that they get loads of stick I mean imagine of there was no parking rules ..? streets would be littered with vehicles
WOW I just watched this video and realised it's the same warded I had a run in with six months ago, but I did not have the foresight to video it. Now i absolutely agree that this warden is out of control and has no idea of the consequences of here attitude to members of the public. I also feel this needs addressed as soon as possible I am 6'6 tall and 400lbs but and I might add I am very laid back JUST LIKE THE GENTELMAN IN THIS VIDEO! but this warden treated me like something she wiped of her shoe what happens when she talks to someone like she does that is not so laid back (non-aggressive) like myself and the gent filming this video SHE IS A DANGER TO HERSELF!
Just an update - Please see below the letter I have just sent to Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council: Also by email: info@blackburn.gov.uk 3 July 2015 Dear Sirs Re Complaint and Request for Information under the FOIA I write to register a formal complaint against a parking warden (hereinafter 'CEO') and to request relevant associated information by way of FOI request. The CEO in question is identifiable as the main speaker from the video footage below. I do not know her name. She regularly operates in the Larkhill area of Blackburn. Complaint: The incident I raise complaint about occurred on 14/04/15 at Larkhill Health Centre. The video footage of this incident as filmed by me can be viewed at the following link: m.th-cam.com/video/WlPxEL-gmTM/w-d-xo.html&client=mv-vf-uk&safesearch=always I have concerns about the conduct, integrity, fairness and fitness of this CEO to perform public duties. Background The CEO and her colleague parked their van on double yellow lines whilst they issued parking contravention notices to other cars. I attempted to film this contravention on my camera. What followed was a surprisingly aggressive, provocative and intimidating reaction from the CEO. The CEO firstly attempted to obstruct me from filming their van still parked on double yellow lines, she held her own camera directly towards me, accused me of obstructing her exit and harassing her and threatened to report me to the police. It is clear from the footage that neither do I obstruct and neither do I harass the CEO. I ask that you investigate the conduct of this CEO and share your findings with me. I specifically ask for your comments/ responses to the following material points: a) Is it accepted that the CEO's van was parked on double yellow lines? b) Is it unlawful for the public to film CEOs and their vans at work? c) Did my filming constitute 'obstruction' as alleged by the CEO? Did my filming constitute harassment? d) Can you confirm whether the recording taken by the CEO has been forwarded to the police as stated to me by the CEO? If so what was the outcome of their investigation. e) Has the CEO's recording ever been reviewed by anyone within your offices and if so what was the outcome? f) Can you supply me with a copy of the CEO's recording, preferably on a DVD. g) Kindly provide me with the relevant policy documents and guidelines governing a CEOs use of their camera to record members of the public. h) Confirm whether the actions of the CEO including filming me, obstructing me from filming their van, threatening to report me to the police and falsely accusing me of obstruction and harassment constituted abuse of authority and/ or fall outside the conduct rules applicable to CEOs. If so, can you confirm what disciplinary/ remedial action has been taken or will be taken against this CEO by those responsible for her supervision? i) Can you say whether and if so how many complaints have been received about this particular CEO since her employment with BWDBC? j) Can you say how many parking contravention notices have been issued by this CEO since her employment with BWDBC and of those how many have been the subject of appeal and how many of those appeals have been successful? k) Would the CEO consider providing an apology for her conduct and / or tender her resignation? Kindly note that requests f), g), i) and j) above are submitted as FOI requests under the FOIA. The thuggish, gangster like and dishonest attitude of this CEO has caused me unspeakable anxiety and distress and has totally demolished my confidence in the traffic policing system. She plainly feels able to treat members of the public with utter contempt without any regard whatsoever for her position as a government employee or her responsibilities towards the public or indeed any fear of consequences. I therefore urge you to investigate this complaint as urgently as possible. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully Mansoor Geloo
lilschnowyguy You misunderstood. He said "I was on the grass" meaning where he was standing when she said he was obstructing. She clearly stated at the start he was parked on a single yellow line, whereas her partner in the van was parked on double yellow lines. He was trying to show that they are hypocrites.
+lilschnowyguy Quite right. We need to footage of his parking... preferably from a time stamped cctv, clearing showing the traffic wardens van at the time of his parking... and the footage of hom filming the traffic warden... I do, of course, refer to his cctv that he states is filming them.
Did anything come of your complaint Mansoor? Not only were they parked on double yellow lines - they knew they were busted because of the way the guy ran into the van to move it when you walked up to them - they were also parked in the health centre staff car park so parked illegally again!!
Any update on this beyond the letter you sent, any reply received? I had a similar experience with a CEO ticketing people parked on the street whilst buying lunch from Tesco but ignoring the marked car doing the same.
I'm a traffic warden and were not all like this little self important, power hungry witch. You get scummy little germs in all sorts of different professions. The trouble is people notice it more in our line of work.
spammy92 I understand but there is loads of asswipes doing this job so good ones are never thought of, same as nurses so many asswipes as nurses ruin good ones efforts.
So, three years later - what was the outcome? Did you pay your ticket? Did you make a formal complaint? Any reaction from the Council? Great film, I'd love to know what happened
There are some really wicked nasty insulting comments on here which are totally unjustified, some wanting to physically attack this lady. What has happened to humanity lately. I don't believe in posting videos like this as it puts people at real risk, if there is a problem then call the council or police!
Apologies for the delay in posting the reply from Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council. Here is their reply to my earlier letter. They are just as bad as the warden. I have redacted only personal details for data protection.
Mr xxxxxxcc Xxxxxxxxxxccc Xxxxxxccxxcc Date: 6th August 2015 Blackburn My Ref : Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Please Ask For : Xxxxxxxxxx Direct Dial : (01254) xxxxxxx
E-Mail address: Xxxxxxxxxxxxx@ blackburn.gov.uk
Dear Mr Xxxxxxx COMPLAINT REGARDING CIVIL ENFORCEMENT OFFICER I write with reference to your e-mail of 3rd July in which you complain about the conduct of one of the Council’s Civil Enforcement Officers. You have asked for specific questions to be answered, some of which are submitted as Freedom of Information requests. I can confirm that your complaint has now been investigated under Stage 1 of the Council’s Corporate Complaints Policy and this letter details the departmental response to each of your questions. a) Is it accepted that the CEO's van was parked on double yellow lines? The CEOs vehicle was parked within a private car park where there are yellow line markings. There is no Traffic Regulation Order for these lines and there are no notices for private enforcement detailing the terms of using the parking area, therefore the vehicle was not parked ‘illegally’ at the time the video was made. As can be seen below there are no restrictions within any of the parking areas in this location ( ).
b) Is it unlawful for the public to film CEOs and their vans at work? There is nothing stopping people filming in public, unless someone actually offers an objection at the time of filming. The re-use of the footage however is a different matter. The owner of the footage cannot further distribute (including uploading to social media) without the consent of those in it. This is personal data under the Data Protection Act 1998. In accordance with Data Protection legislation consent should be obtained from any individual who is the focus of a video recording in order to process his/her personal data fairly. c) Did my filming constitute 'obstruction' as alleged by the CEO? Did my filming constitute harassment? The CEO expressed concern at being filmed but has chosen not to take this any further, therefore it is considered that no harassment in this case occurred. d) Can you confirm whether the recording taken by the CEO has been forwarded to the police as stated to me by the CEO? If so what was the outcome of their investigation. No, the recording has not been forwarded to the Police.
e) Has the CEO's recording ever been reviewed by anyone within your offices and if so what was the outcome? The footage has been viewed by their line manager and it was felt that, in the circumstances, the CEO acted appropriately f) Can you supply me with a copy of the CEO's recording, preferably on a DVD. Yes we can, however there is a charge of £10. If you wish to proceed with this then you can collect the CD from the Town Hall. g) Kindly provide me with the relevant policy documents and guidelines governing a CEOs use of their camera to record members of the public. Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council’s Fair Processing Notice regarding the use of Body Worn Video Devices by Council Officers is still currently at pre-policy draft stage which requires approval. We can disclose this once it has been approved. h) Confirm whether the actions of the CEO including filming me, obstructing me from filming their van, threatening to report me to the police and falsely accusing me of obstruction and harassment constituted abuse of authority and/ or fall outside the conduct rules applicable to CEOs. If so, can you confirm what disciplinary/ remedial action has been taken or will be taken against this CEO by those responsible for her supervision? See response to question e). It was felt that the CEO acted appropriately given the nature of the situation. i) Can you say whether and if so how many complaints have been received about this particular CEO since her employment with BWDBC? We cannot provide this information.
j) Can you say how many parking contravention notices have been issued by this CEO since her employment with BWDBC and of those how many have been the subject of appeal and how many of those appeals have been successful? Unfortunately due to the time restrictions on providing the exact information requested, 3 months data took 4 hours and there is still another 11 years to review, therefore I will provide the total number of PCNs issued by DB12 between 01/10/2004 - 01/07/2015 (inclusive) and of those how many have been cancelled for any reason, please note that not all of these will have been challenged. 01/10/2004 - 01/07/2015 Issued Cancelled Total 10141 1814
k) Would the CEO consider providing an apology for her conduct and / or tender her resignation? No
If you are unhappy with this response you may request for your complaint to be escalated to the Council’s Stage 2 review process within 28 days of receiving this letter. You can do this by telephoning our offices on: (01254) xxxxx Writing in: Corporate Complaints Team, Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, Town Hall, Blackburn, BB1 7DY; Email at: ‘feedback@blackburn.gov.uk’. Yours sincerely

MOT Test centre? No Council is responsible for MOT testing. Garages are all independent and fully certified before they can test for the government. They are also regularly visited.
Seems to be a nice little earner, for a HGV they charge around £150 for a test and another £50 for a retest if you fail. Not sure about the price on cars.
If he has to pay..the driver of the van need to pay..that is the only way justice can be upheld..larkhill health centre will be receiving an email from me..Blackburn ppl unite💪💪🙏🙏
I can't leave, that tree in the background is obstructing me & it's the only reason I'm on double yellows (honest). Love the "uuuummmm" when confronted with how long they'd been parked there - she got nothing.
If I am correct, yellow lines that are broken, covered (even by leaves) or do not have a stop and start bar (to show where there begin and end) are invalid. I have contested these before and always had the fine revoked.
Crikey that was depressing watching that carry-on. Surely there must be something actually productive that these public servants can be doing. All this crap over a bit of yellow paint on the ground, is hard to comprehend.

Cookies are cool!! No he wasn't when he when he went on the grass they where still parked there
Eamonn Clifford:I spotted that as well. But too late for her cos: she's been framed!
The man was out off the van at the beginning and got in when the man walked over van wasn't started so he's classed as been parked
Nothing like a jobs worth , so funny how they can illegally park and issue tickets , glad you stood up to her .
She complains about being harassed when her job involves doing just that!
Well they are parking where they want despite the fact that there are loads of empty spaces there for them to choose from.

Just an update - Please see below the letter I have just sent to Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council:
Also by email: info@blackburn.gov.uk
3 July 2015
Dear Sirs
Re Complaint and Request for Information under the FOIA
I write to register a formal complaint against a parking warden (hereinafter 'CEO') and to request relevant associated information by way of FOI request. The CEO in question is identifiable as the main speaker from the video footage below. I do not know her name. She regularly operates in the Larkhill area of Blackburn.
Complaint:
The incident I raise complaint about occurred on 14/04/15 at Larkhill Health Centre. The video footage of this incident as filmed by me can be viewed at the following link:
m.th-cam.com/video/WlPxEL-gmTM/w-d-xo.html&client=mv-vf-uk&safesearch=always
I have concerns about the conduct, integrity, fairness and fitness of this CEO to perform public duties.
Background
The CEO and her colleague parked their van on double yellow lines whilst they issued parking contravention notices to other cars. I attempted to film this contravention on my camera. What followed was a surprisingly aggressive, provocative and intimidating reaction from the CEO. The CEO firstly attempted to obstruct me from filming their van still parked on double yellow lines, she held her own camera directly towards me, accused me of obstructing her exit and harassing her and threatened to report me to the police. It is clear from the footage that neither do I obstruct and neither do I harass the CEO.
I ask that you investigate the conduct of this CEO and share your findings with me. I specifically ask for your comments/ responses to the following material points:
a) Is it accepted that the CEO's van was parked on double yellow lines?
b) Is it unlawful for the public to film CEOs and their vans at work?
c) Did my filming constitute 'obstruction' as alleged by the CEO? Did my filming constitute harassment?
d) Can you confirm whether the recording taken by the CEO has been forwarded to the police as stated to me by the CEO? If so what was the outcome of their investigation.
e) Has the CEO's recording ever been reviewed by anyone within your offices and if so what was the outcome?
f) Can you supply me with a copy of the CEO's recording, preferably on a DVD.
g) Kindly provide me with the relevant policy documents and guidelines governing a CEOs use of their camera to record members of the public.
h) Confirm whether the actions of the CEO including filming me, obstructing me from filming their van, threatening to report me to the police and falsely accusing me of obstruction and harassment constituted abuse of authority and/ or fall outside the conduct rules applicable to CEOs. If so, can you confirm what disciplinary/ remedial action has been taken or will be taken against this CEO by those responsible for her supervision?
i) Can you say whether and if so how many complaints have been received about this particular CEO since her employment with BWDBC?
j) Can you say how many parking contravention notices have been issued by this CEO since her employment with BWDBC and of those how many have been the subject of appeal and how many of those appeals have been successful?
k) Would the CEO consider providing an apology for her conduct and / or tender her resignation?
Kindly note that requests f), g), i) and j) above are submitted as FOI requests under the FOIA.
The thuggish, gangster like and dishonest attitude of this CEO has caused me unspeakable anxiety and distress and has totally demolished my confidence in the traffic policing system. She plainly feels able to treat members of the public with utter contempt without any regard whatsoever for her position as a government employee or her responsibilities towards the public or indeed any fear of consequences.
I therefore urge you to investigate this complaint as urgently as possible. I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully

Mansoor Geloo Please post the reply you get off the council thanks.
***** To be fair tho, we haven't seen where he parked... He said he'd parked on the grass which isn't a parking space. What do you expect?

The fact they choose to be traffic wardens speaks volumes of the type of people they are,
To be fair, Traffic Warden was her second choice. Her supermodel career fell at the first.
Similar type of people to those who join the police force.
Fancy waking up to that in the morning!
Who in the right mind would want to go to Blackburn, let alone park there?.
I was looking for the ''I'm from Blackburn'' comments to see how sad people are and i found yours. Totally agree, it is a shithole.
Some people have no choice. Like people born in the 3rd world...
I wonder if there was someone filming her, filming him filming her. World's gone mad.
She was being filmed by an Angry Lesbian Watchdog team.
Health centre? The sign says it all for me.
Please tell me she got a ticket..if not the council should all resign for collaboration in a corruption scandal..
One rule for one and a completely different rule for the rest.
The lady was wrong and power crazy. Well done sir for being an intellectual
I'm glad she didn't make it to be a real copper, it's the type of person that get's to be very scary and dangerous when in a position of authority.
There are many like her in the police. Look at some of the UK audits on here. High Wycombe Audit would be a good example!
They have women like that in Germany too . Imagine how much they LOVED putting on a Nazi uniform !!!!
The sheer ARROGANCE is incredible!! I hope they both had to go back to Traffic Warden School to be RE-educated!!
being filmed in a public place, harrassment?? haha this is hilarious
And traffic wardens wonder why people hate em!
This vid should be renamed, Traffic Warden looks like a busted Couch!
Old people are just funny, we only have to love them, just love.
I take it nothing came of this whole situation then, she said she was going to send her video to the police??
MsDoodle68 No it looks like she didn't take her video to the police lol!
Mansoor Geloo Oh, so she lied about that as well? Good for you standing up to her! :)
No laws broken.
Why are all the people who do this job so weird and not good people ? maybe as this type of so called job would only attract scum.
I'm a traffic warden and were not all like this little self important, power hungry witch. You get scummy little germs in all sorts of different professions. The trouble is people notice it more in our line of work.
spammy92 I understand but there is loads of asswipes doing this job so good ones are never thought of, same as nurses so many asswipes as nurses ruin good ones efforts.
The parking warden was in the wrong and she knows it. Theyre just trying to act smart but got caught out. Well done sir
She should be a bollard.
That is too funny! Haha... I love it!! :)
she was previously, but she began obstructing traffic when she became too wide.
she did apply .. couldnt pass the exam
I think traffic wardens must pass a low IQ test to qualify.
THERES A ROBBERY GOING ON IN THE BACKGROUND AT 1:22
Where?
So, three years later - what was the outcome? Did you pay your ticket? Did you make a formal complaint? Any reaction from the Council? Great film, I'd love to know what happened
Probably got fined as you only see half the story
Aw, you copyright claimed the 'curb your parking ticket' video
Really?
When British people argue, they sound so friend when doing so!
A lot of thees parking officers are worst than the gestapo !
They were expelled from the Gestapo for being too bullying
Involving innocent passers buy is typical off corruption in UK.
You were in error parked on single yellow line. Pay your fine
She's going to have a great video of her forefinger.
not a very nice woman
Trying to intimidate him with her Camera, she thinks he will back down .
There are some really wicked nasty insulting comments on here which are totally unjustified, some wanting to physically attack this lady. What has happened to humanity lately. I don't believe in posting videos like this as it puts people at real risk, if there is a problem then call the council or police!
she's parked on double yellow lines
Apologies for the delay in posting the reply from Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council. Here is their reply to my earlier letter. They are just as bad as the warden. I have redacted only personal details for data protection.

Dear Mr Xxxxxxx
COMPLAINT REGARDING CIVIL ENFORCEMENT OFFICER
I write with reference to your e-mail of 3rd July in which you complain about the conduct of one of the Council’s Civil Enforcement Officers. You have asked for specific questions to be answered, some of which are submitted as Freedom of Information requests.
I can confirm that your complaint has now been investigated under Stage 1 of the Council’s Corporate Complaints Policy and this letter details the departmental response to each of your questions.
a) Is it accepted that the CEO's van was parked on double yellow lines?
The CEOs vehicle was parked within a private car park where there are yellow line markings. There is no Traffic Regulation Order for these lines and there are no notices for private enforcement detailing the terms of using the parking area, therefore the vehicle was not parked ‘illegally’ at the time the video was made. As can be seen below there are no restrictions within any of the parking areas in this location ( ).
b) Is it unlawful for the public to film CEOs and their vans at work?
There is nothing stopping people filming in public, unless someone actually offers an objection at the time of filming. The re-use of the footage however is a different matter. The owner of the footage cannot further distribute (including uploading to social media) without the consent of those in it. This is personal data under the Data Protection Act 1998. In accordance with Data Protection legislation consent should be obtained from any individual who is the focus of a video recording in order to process his/her personal data fairly.
c) Did my filming constitute 'obstruction' as alleged by the CEO? Did my filming constitute harassment?
The CEO expressed concern at being filmed but has chosen not to take this any further, therefore it is considered that no harassment in this case occurred.
d) Can you confirm whether the recording taken by the CEO has been forwarded to the police as stated to me by the CEO? If so what was the outcome of their investigation.
No, the recording has not been forwarded to the Police.
e) Has the CEO's recording ever been reviewed by anyone within your offices and if so what was the outcome?
The footage has been viewed by their line manager and it was felt that, in the circumstances, the CEO acted appropriately
f) Can you supply me with a copy of the CEO's recording, preferably on a DVD.
Yes we can, however there is a charge of £10. If you wish to proceed with this then you can collect the CD from the Town Hall.
g) Kindly provide me with the relevant policy documents and guidelines governing a CEOs use of their camera to record members of the public.
Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council’s Fair Processing Notice regarding the use of Body Worn Video Devices by Council Officers is still currently at pre-policy draft stage which requires approval. We can disclose this once it has been approved.
h) Confirm whether the actions of the CEO including filming me, obstructing me from filming their van, threatening to report me to the police and falsely accusing me of obstruction and harassment constituted abuse of authority and/ or fall outside the conduct rules applicable to CEOs. If so, can you confirm what disciplinary/ remedial action has been taken or will be taken against this CEO by those responsible for her supervision?
See response to question e). It was felt that the CEO acted appropriately given the nature of the situation.
i) Can you say whether and if so how many complaints have been received about this particular CEO since her employment with BWDBC?
We cannot provide this information.
j) Can you say how many parking contravention notices have been issued by this CEO since her employment with BWDBC and of those how many have been the subject of appeal and how many of those appeals have been successful?
Unfortunately due to the time restrictions on providing the exact information requested, 3 months data took 4 hours and there is still another 11 years to review, therefore I will provide the total number of PCNs issued by DB12 between 01/10/2004 - 01/07/2015 (inclusive) and of those how many have been cancelled for any reason, please note that not all of these will have been challenged.
01/10/2004 - 01/07/2015
Issued
Cancelled
Total
10141
1814
k) Would the CEO consider providing an apology for her conduct and / or tender her resignation?
No
If you are unhappy with this response you may request for your complaint to be escalated to the Council’s Stage 2 review process within 28 days of receiving this letter.
You can do this by telephoning our offices on: (01254) xxxxx

I fuckin hate Blackburn and Darwen council, I've had enough bullshit off them myself. Using faulty equipment at there MOT Test centre.
MOT Test centre? No Council is responsible for MOT testing. Garages are all independent and fully certified before they can test for the government. They are also regularly visited.
Theweescot Blackburn council have there own MOT test centre on davy field road. Most council's have test centre's.
GM1984UK what on earth for?
Seems to be a nice little earner, for a HGV they charge around £150 for a test and another £50 for a retest if you fail. Not sure about the price on cars.
That's what you call a THICK traffic warden. So funny!!!
If he has to pay..the driver of the van need to pay..that is the only way justice can be upheld..larkhill health centre will be receiving an email from me..Blackburn ppl unite💪💪🙏🙏
"you've been parked there longer than we were".... her face lol.
This reminds me of the saying "All men (and women) are created Equal; some more Equal than others!
She is extremely unprofessional and manipulating.. I hope she's going to get fired.
Even on your feet taxing your feet?! Madness!!
great job mate for recording all this. this lady is an embarrassment.
This women talks farts I can smell it from over here. Best 2 way conversation I ve heard in years, really cheerd me up.
Well done sir what goes around comes around
The best response is no response.
Lancashire's finest, people!
Greetings from Oswaldtwistle!
"Errrmm..... Im not arguing with you sir" ahahaha
If I would have to get up every morning to be hated all day long by just everybody.... I would prefer to die from hunger than be a traffic warden!!!
People who failed their police exams.
If brains were petrol, she wouldn't have enough to get out of a parking space lol
I can't leave, that tree in the background is obstructing me & it's the only reason I'm on double yellows (honest). Love the "uuuummmm" when confronted with how long they'd been parked there - she got nothing.
On a grass!! Mad people are in uniform where on earth do they find these people?!
A Hitachi Majic Wand is top of her bucket list.
If I am correct, yellow lines that are broken, covered (even by leaves) or do not have a stop and start bar (to show where there begin and end) are invalid. I have contested these before and always had the fine revoked.
Thanks for sharing this!
How the hell was he in any way obstructing anything! She needs to get herself into the local dramatic society.
She looks a bit drunk and tired, a bit arrogant as well, she should be investigated or fired
Oh ffs.. Now they are giving the Karen's a uniform..
A Professional Karen !!!!
how can a illegally parked traffic warden give a parking ticket when they breaking the law
Crikey that was depressing watching that carry-on. Surely there must be something actually productive that these public servants can be doing. All this crap over a bit of yellow paint on the ground, is hard to comprehend.
Silly Mare, It probably just needs someone to give her a bit of love to get her through the day
_"...Not arguing with you, sir."_ Busted.
