It was much better when four big lads could bounce the car out of the way and we'd not get into trouble!

The world's gone mad now, I do, to some extent feel sorry for some councils, trying to do the impossible in many ways.

The work will no doubt have been done by a sub contractor, probably working on behalf of the councils main contractor.

The risk of a part finished job, outweighs the risk of coming back again and having another car parked there. Sometimes it's easier to get cracking and do what you can, often when you get working people come and move parked cars, even if they've previously stated they don't own them!
