I was taking a look at the weather in the High Peak and noticed this site. There is some very selfish parking going on and dangerous parking. Interesting that some people park in the middle of two spaces so they don't get their car scratched. That has a knock on effect for other drivers who are probably the ones who end up with a ticket.

This is what it was like on Friday PM.

    Typical Facebook top 3 moan - parking, fireworks and dog sh*t!

    It's the actions of a few that has caused the rise in the growth of the PPC's which has impacted on many drivers.

    Some of the parking on the Facebook page was probably by walkers from out of the area visiting Kinder Scout. 

    Mr U, my pet hate is people who light fires and disposable barbecues.

    Same as the governors of California and New South Wales, I guess!
