Gwynedd Council has responded to Tywyn businessman Frank Bridle’s parking appeal.

In last week’s Cambrian News, we reported on Frank, who owns Frank’s furnishers on High Street (pictured), and his appeal against a ticket given to him whilst parked on the forecourt to the shop.

Mr Bridle said he was loading, had put a sign in the van, and was not causing an obstruction, but Gwynedd Council insist the ticket was issued correctly.

A Gwynedd Council spokesperson said: “The council’s civil enforcement officers monitor communities across Gwynedd to ensure that motorists follow the parking rules and regulations and to keep our towns and villages safe for everyone.

“Motorists are permitted to stop to load or unload from their vehicles, however there must be evidence of this happening continuously. The same rules apply to everyone and any motorists found to be parking illegally or not continuously loading or unloading are at risk of being issued with a fine.

“Information is included on the notice explaining how the recipient can lodge an appeal.”
