Sir,

This week's Tenby Observer carries yet another story about inappropriate parking fines, this time affecting a blue badge holder in Tenby as a tourist.

A parking fine is one thing that sticks in most people's memory for ever. Do Pembrokeshire County Council appreciate just how much damage their insensitive application of their current policy is doing to the county's key tourism industry?

A few weeks ago one of their employees was bragging in Tenby Market about the number of tickets issued the previous day, Good Friday. How many tourists will avoid ever visiting Tenby again as a result?

John Kay,

Tenby
