CAMPAIGNERS trying to stop commuters parking on the road found their cars hit with tickets outside their own homes, writes Ben Griffiths.

Digswell residents, who had urged the borough council to prevent commuters parking on their streets, left their cars metres from their front doors in a prohibited area.

Homeowners from Adele Avenue, close to Welwyn North railway station, were unaware that weekday parking restrictions applied on Good Friday, the day their cars were booked.

Shaun Langenhoven appealed against his £30, but it was rebutted.

He said: “I’m amazed and annoyed that they can do this on a bank holiday.

“I first thought someone had left a pamphlet on my car but when I saw the yellow parking notice I could not believe my eyes.

“I did not think anyone would be doing overtime on Good Friday. These parking restrictions are there for commuters not us.

“I think there was about five or six others who got the same fines.”

He added: “It’s madness.”

Leaving a car between 9am and 11am on weekdays in Adele Avenue is prohibited in order to stop roads becoming an extension of the station car park.

However, Mr Langenhoven said the sides of the road were “close to empty” due to the fact it was a bank holiday.

One onlooking neighbour was “in amazement” at seeing wardens booking residents rather than commuters.

Mr Power, who also lives on Adele Avenue said: “I have real sympathy for them as they must have thought; ‘I won’t get any problems on a Good Friday’.

“It’s utterly immoral.”

A Welwyn Hatfield Council spokeswoman said: “We enforce traffic regulation orders where and when they apply.

“Most restrictions do apply on bank holidays.

“We pay Control Parking Service, the council’s service partner, an additional 47 per cent per hour for attendants to work on bank holidays and Sundays.”

This episode follows the saga concerning commuter traffic in the neighbouring New Road and Station Road, as previously reported in the WHT.

Residents have been using rubbish bins and cones to discourage station users from parking outside their houses.

Mate, can’t find that link, you may have to cut and paste!!

Shaun Langenhoven – as unwelcome in Hertfordshire as he is in South Africa.

Ok hope your problem is solved.

No holiday in Munich, thats a yes.

Can you not acquire an equivalent drug or is it because you need a prescription?

You probably forgot your original back home not so?

Ja, that German efficiency can be so damn sterile most times.

Wrong again.

Univ. of Penn. is probably the 1st Ivy League or amongst the earliest Ivy. It is one of the four or fivethat I referred to earlier.

So you are in Germany on some sort of business?

I am in Phila. which at one time had 6 med. schools which is now down to 4 because MCP merged with Hahneman to form U. of Allergeny which has subsequently merged with that good engineering Univ.of Drexel so it is all now Univ. of Drexel or more correctly Drexel Univ.

For ****** sake stop being a stupid prick, you **** it just makes you look more dumb when you suck the information like that. You are deluded. Just accept the facts.

On the Fox channel they just completed at 9pm the latest edition of House and now from 9-10pm they are showing 24.

I am not interested in all that garbage.
But why are you up so late or so early?

You actually come across as one Johan Fourie,

Seriously, unless you are J.W., I do not know who you are so am not likely to just discuss serious matters with you.

That type of name you have is here today and gone tomorrow so why should I take you as being a sincere individual.

You can draw whatever conclusions you want to, they are all inconsequential as far as I am concerned but if it helps you get through your night or day(wherever you are) then I guess they have some benefit to you, but not me.

Do you see me take Hell’s Shame seriously?

He is a demented soul constantly sucking things out of his thumb so how could I give him some credence.

I need to attend to some things for tomorrow’s demands.

Are you a security guard on night shift?
Or could you actually be in Boston? Some fairly decent med schools around New England.

But its you, naaah it must be the former.
