Barry Cocum's point about letting cars park on double yellow lines for ten minutes while parents pick up their kids is precisely why wardens are there.

There are always a few spaces in Walpole Terrace but when you suggest people park there and walk, they look at you as if you have sworn at them.

If we left them for this ten-minute period, you would have up to 28 cars on double yellow lines - hardly safe for the children, especially as there is a deaf school just around the corner.

It would only take one child to be knocked down and we would be blamed for not enforcing rules.

Yes, I am a parking attendant and a responsible parent and, no, I don't get a bonus on tickets.
