Good luck to Neil in this fight. It's been ongoing for a while so he deserves every respect.
The local authorities are fighting it all the way in the knowledge they can't legally defend themselves.
They hide behind the notion that the laws are 'too complicated to implement'.
How come there wasn't a problem when the police were responsible?
The answer is that the councils got greedy and relied on the UK population not fighting back.
To a large we haven't but there's a sting in the tail coming very, very soon....

A PARKING crusader waging the biggest ever war against traffic wardens has shelled out £100,000 - to fight a £60 ticket.
Neil Herron, 47, has already re-mortgaged his £200,000 home to fund the landmark legal battle.
And now he's flogging his car - along with the appropriate personalised numberplate F1 NED.

London councils' three-decade parking error revealed
Well done to the campaigners who have managed to have a great success on parking bays.
[Read more: Five London councils may have to repay millions of pounds of parking fines to motorists after a BBC London investigation proved hundreds of their parking bays have been unlawfully operated for decades. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8490074.stm]
As Neil Herron says: "Fairness and justice is a two-way street and councils now have a duty to refund those fined unlawfully."
Here at MAD we agree with that sentiment. However, we believe that all councils will try to aviod paying out saying it's too drastic to refund everyone.
Plus they can't afford to.
Well tough luck. You effectively stole the money from innocent people and should pay them back the fine plus interest.
Hopefully the legal fightback by the put-upon motorist in this country is now beginning.
It's especially interesting that the authorities hide behind laws they haven't implemented properly to persecute motorists and they will try to hide behind them to continue this war.
Pay up and shut up!
