Colin Knight, Director of Transportation and Highways for Coventry City Council, said: “Our Restricted Parking Zone (RPZ) remains fully approved by the Department for Transport (DfT) and our scheme continues to be enforceable.
“Our signs were designed in partnership with the DfT and the whole point of implementing this zone back in 2012 was to make parking in the city centre consistent and easier to understand. In fact, following introduction of the RPZ the number of parking tickets issued fell and it has achieved our aim of making the city centre more attractive and has contributed to boosting economic confidence .
I don't get how they keep getting away with it and just make it up as they go along? Even the tribunal has said they are doing it just to try and make money over anything else.
At what point does somebody intervene and sort it out?
They're not saying that, they're saying that the people in charge don't understand the job and have applied a parking restriction scheme inappropriately.
When the error was uncovered they still can't admit they're wrong and find a solution.
Not doubting it, bit where’s the proof. Don’t say you have proof then not provide it.
I spent about £600 on parking charges last year. All because the council won’t enforce parking law in Foleshill or provide enough space. Four petitions for residents parking rejected.
It’s just a blatant money making scheme.
I dont get how they get away with it?
Council leader saying how it is a waste of tax payers money to call a meeting but they pretty much ignored what the point of it was?
They are also throwing up loads of new signs, you wouldn't do that if the signage was adequate.

Waste of tax payer's money is spending a fortune on signs to try and retrospectively prove yourself right. The arrogance of the Councillors and officers knows no bounds. They should drop on street parking charges full stop, what benefit do rate paying businesses get from the council levying charges on potential customers?
They don’t get how to utilise the city centre at all. See it as a cash machine not a multiplier. This is just an extension of that. We should be doing everything to get people in: free parking, low rents, not just whacking some soulless paving and a few anemic trees in and calling it a day.
In what way?Looks like they are now basically just lying about those shared spaces in Town.
Madness how they get away with it and can just do and say what they want with no issues.
In what way?
