A MOTORIST has had his parking ticket cancelled, thanks to the Teignmouth Post.

Paul Burke, 47, was booked for leaving his car in a 'restricted zone' in Somerset Place.

He complained there were no notices or yellow lines on that part of the street at the Quay Road junction, or any sign to warn that it was an area where restrictions prohibiting parking were in force.

'I am suffering ill health at the moment, and with my wages being stopped, there is no way I would risk having to fork out for a parking ticket because money is tight,' said Mr Burke, a refuse lorry driver.
