Hillgate landlady given parking ticket while her pub was on fire.

A LANDLADY who claims a police officer told her to leave her car on private land while she raced to check on her staff and customers who had been evacuated from the Hillgate area when a major fire broke out, has been slapped with a parking fine.

As a result she is facing court action or a fine that has increased to £175 – as well as losing two days takings.

   Frank Garth Rowe...well said people just don't give a damn any more, there are just after money nothing else. Hopefully the PC who told her to park there will come forward, but I doubt it as he/she will not want to get in trouble!!!

   FOR READERS LETTERS - as well as Webpage... WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO SIMPLE COMMON SENSE - AND IN THIS CASE SIMPLE CARING& CONSIDERATION!? The response/action of the Parking Officer in this situation is nothin less than CRASS IGNORANCE & STUPIDITY - and for the 'Authorities' to allow this 'situation' to continue is Appalling Disrespect in a Health & Safety 'Crisis'!! Come on people - WHERE'S YOUR HUMANITY!!?? FRANK ROWE ( Senior EX BRIT/STOCONIAN) Perth, W Australia
