...or go direct to Jail without passing Go or collecting £200?
You may not know it but the County Council are launching a "Clear Streets Operation". While this sounds like a hell for leather US Army policy in Iraq, it is actually a county wide (including Stafford) scheme to ease up parking and congestion in town.
Here are the details, you have been warned! What do you think a good thing or bad thing??...
Clear Streets clear message - now online
This week sees the launch of Staffordshire's Clear Streets website - providing loads of information about the Clear Streets operation which will hit the streets this autumn in East Staffordshire, Moorlands, Stafford and Newcastle under Lyme.
Clear Streets has been put in place to keep the streets clear by cutting congestion, helping to reduce frustrations and dangers for local communities. The initiative also hopes to help create a better street environment for business, and to keep a path clear for the emergency services.
The first Clear Streets Officers will be out on patrol in East Staffordshire and Staffordshire Moorlands in just over a month's time. Stafford and Newcastle Boroughs come on board in November.
Those who illegally park will be fined under the Clear Streets Operation. If fines are paid within 14 days the penalty fee is £30, and £60 if you pay the fee within a month. Those who do not pay after one month will be charged for recovery cost which will see the penalty charge rise to £90.
All the charges are being ring fenced to pay for running the Clear Streets operation -any surplus will be spent on improving transport in the areas where the charges were raised.
Full details of the operations can be found at www.staffordshire.gov.uk/transport/parking/
