Council Threatens Families With £1,000 Fine For Parking On Their Own Driveways
'Furious residents have been left stunned after a council threatened to fine them £1,000 - for parking on their own driveways.
Homeowners in a quiet village have been told they have the wrong type of kerbs, despite having driven over them for the 50 years since the properties were built.
Councillors are using a law passed 30 years ago to stop them from parking beside their own homes.'
