Parking In Fleet St.

Fleet Street, Torquay is a pedestrianised street with access for authorised vehicles from either end, goods vehicles may enter to load and unload before 10:00 am and only from the top end. Goods vehicles are not allowed to enter from the Harbour end or load/ unload after 10 am with the excepting of Tesco's who may load after 6 pm. OK so far. Buses in service are on the list of authorised vehicles. I am not going into the list of other authorised vehilces nor am I going to make a list of all the vehicles that do use Fleet St that are not authorised. I am however going to make a list of all the unauthorised vehicles I have seen being approached by the police in Fleet St in the last 10 years. Some of the details on this list may be a little hazy, time removes the fine detail from the memory after 8 years. But as best I remember it here goes. A car drove into Fleet St and stopped at a Hole In The Wall machine, passenger got out and went to the machine, policeperson stopped and spoke to driver, passenger got back in car, car drove off. That's it. In eight years.

Anyway here is a photo of a van taken in Fleet St today after 10 am and facing up the street so it entered from the Harbour end. It also blocked the road for a couple of minutes. The driver was aware he was blocking the road but did he give a ****? What do you think?
