North Solihull not a priority for traffic wardens

FAR fewer parking tickets are being issued in North Solihull compared to other parts of the borough.
The latest figures show that while traffic wardens issued some 10,000 tickets over an eight month period, less time is being spent patrolling areas such as Castle Bromwich and Chelmsley Wood than many other neighbourhoods.
Around two per cent of the penalties issued between April and November last year were handed to motorists on the North Solihull "beat".
Predictably Solihull town centre is where the most resources are concentrated, but a greater number of tickets are also being slapped on windscreens in Shirley and Knowle/Dorridge.
A report prepared for the attention of the first transport and highways committee meeting of 2016 also revealed that around a fifth of tickets issued across Solihull are subsequently cancelled on appeal.
