Streets in Ellesmere are being blocked by illegally parked cars, while residents are being unfairly penalised by traffic wardens for parking outside their homes, it has been claimed. Councillors are to arrange a meeting with bosses from ParkRight, who provide parking enforcement in the town, after the concerns were raised. Members at last night's full town council meeting claimed cars parked in loading bays outside the Spar shop in Scotland Street, were not being dealt with, yet vehicles which were not obstructing traffic elsewhere were being issued with parking tickets. Councillor Lynne Davies told the meeting she had been issued with a fixed penalty notice while her car was parked outside her home, and had been advised by ParkRight staff not to have a car.

I can solve a problem - Jones
Molineux young gun Daniel Jones is hoping he can be the solution to Wolves' problem left-back slot next season. Molineux young gun Daniel Jones is hoping he can be the solution to Wolves' problem left-back slot next season.
