Now I don’t drive, but I know from other people’s experience that car parking around here and the rest of Birmingham is, not to put too fine a point on it, a total bitch. And if you park in the wrong place, it doesn’t take long for the traffic wardens/clampers/tow trucks to swoop in. So I wasn’t surprised when Liam Bunce told me Birmingham issues more parking tickets than anywhere else outside of London.
Liam works on a BBC One consumer series Dom’s on the Case presented by Dominic Littlewood from The One Show. In over five programmes they will be looking at the nation’s motoring habits, loves and bugbears. Programme one is looking at revenue and Liam is working a feature involving parking tickets.
Liam wants to hear from residents or businesses who feel they have been issued tickets unfairly or incorrectly. On Friday 21st November the BBC are holding a ‘parking fines clinic’ where the public can come along and get free advice from a team of experts to see if they have a case to make in appealing against a fine.
The clinic will be held in a Digbeth at car dealership on the High Street. Liam is on the look out for local stories of people who have experienced ticket problems to invite along to the clinic. If you feel you fit the bill please contact him on 029 20 323579 or liam.bunce@bbc.co.uk
