I REFER to the letter (February 24) suggesting that “Illegal parking is not a trivial matter”.

Neither is it a serious matter, as in the the case of parking on yellow lines at the bottom of Walmersley Road. As the writer states, illegal parking has been going on for several years. After scouring the Bury Times archives in the public library and other sources, I am unable to find one accident caused by this wrongful parking. There are enough lights at this large junction to light up Blackpool Tower and cars are never in the dark.

This no important matter is obvious, particularly if neither the police, council or traffic wardens show no interest. Perhaps the council are considering removing the yellow lines!

Let’s write about more serious issues that affect the people of Bury.
