Moment parking wardens slap £50 fines on £400k supercar convoy in Cheshire village – while parked on double yellows
THIS is the moment parking wardens slapped £50 fines on a £400k supercar convoy in Cheshire village - while parked on double yellow lines.
The wardens left their Toyota Yaris in a no-loading area round the corner before dishing out fines to an £80,000 Tesla, a £110,000 Porsche 911 and a Rolls Royce Wraith worth an estimated £200,000.

They were spotted by an angry passerby who noticed the seeming double-standard on the neighbouring high street in the wealthy village of Hale near Altrincham - home to Premiership footballers and TV personalities.
Both Trafford Council wardens, Greater Manchester, insisted they had ''dispensation'' for parking illegally and said: ''We work for the council - keep your distance'' before driving away.
Businesswoman Shadia Al Hili, 49, later posted to Facebook mobile phone footage of the incident, thought to have occurred last Friday.
The mum-of-one who runs a beauty firm wrote: ''Manchester and Trafford Council, your Civil Enforcement Officers are breaking the rules! Don’t worry I stepped in with my BIG Mancunian Gob!
''They had a full line of cars they thought they could make a fast £400 quid. (How kind in current times on a Friday night!) They managed to do one because they were caught on camera.
The irony they couldn't be bothered parking safely - worse still, it was the no-stop line double yellows!

''The irony they couldn’t be bothered parking safely worse still it was the no stop line double yellows! They tried to throw some jargon in the mix! They soon got off with Sherlock Shadia on the beady prowl.
''The irony, they couldn’t even be a***d walking yet slam people with enforcement tickets for the same thing!
''Councils it’s not your wardens it’s you. You are accountable for not supporting small business and supporting your residents, some who have not been out in months many facing financial ruin and difficulty. Who are largely out to support their mental health! Your [sic] taking the p..s!''
She said the Toyota was causing an ''absolute obstruction'' and added that anyone coming around the corner "would be forced to swing out onto oncoming traffic for traffic wardens who have stopped to issue ‘misery’ tickets."
She said: ''They couldn’t get away fast enough they were taking the p.s and they knew it! He even tried to throw a little social distancing in! “ I know why your [sic] leaving guysssss.''
Trafford Council which employs the two wardens said: “Trafford’s parking officers are given a dispensation that allows them to park temporarily in areas where restrictions are in place while carrying out enforcement duties, where it is safe to do so and appropriate.

''On this occasion they parked up after observing vehicles parked in the evening-use taxi rank. They parked in the location nearest to this as all parking bays were full.
''The ‘No Loading’ sign shown in the video - where their vehicle was parked - doesn’t apply after 6.30pm and the staff were present in this area around 8.30pm.''
Other councils allow parking enforcement officials to park their vehicles on double yellow lines and be exempt from fines if they are ''carrying out their duties and are in close proximity.''
