After being spotted on the mean streets of Lichfield recently, it seems the new wardens haven’t ventured too far out of the city centre.

Friend of The Lichfield Blog, photographer Nick Brickett, captured the usual dodgy parking near the Bowling Green island. This time the commuters too tight to pay for city centre parking had decided that no-one needed to catch a bus at that particular stop.

Are there worse examples of parking out there? Perhaps we could put together a file of dozy parkers to help the new wardens focus their efforts?

I also spotted a brand new Mini Cooper S with a ‘Fixed Penalty Notice’ on the windscreen – was about to photograph it, but the owner came back and wasn’t looking too happy

Just wait till I get round to the entrance of Wade Street and snap those damn Pizzaco things (they don’t deserve to be called cars).

Today I came off the bowling green island and nearly smashed into the back of this very same row of parked cars. How are they getting away with parking here?? It is so dangerous.
And Nessie it is an interesting piece for the mature users of this site and not Bower Queen wannabes.

I do try to park responsibly, though I hate having to pay for parking and tend to hunt for the free spots, so suspect some of my parking borders on cheeky but wouldn’t be dozy enough to park in a bus stop!

well, Sammy, with you new Ka, you don’t have to park. Surely you can just pop it in a bag and take it with you? :)

What about the cars that park on the bend in Stowe St. I thought parking on a bend was ilegal.
On a lighter note I was in town Tues, I spotted 5 wardens between McDonalds and Boots, oh and 1 Spiderman coming across the carpark.
