> Thank you for putting the effort to ticketed the car that was parked on the fire hydrant yesterday and finally the owner moved the car. It seems to be a regular occurrence that people parked on the fire hydrant. The photos attached here was from this evening when I went for a walk and saw this vehicle parked blocking the hydrant. Can the council do something to prevent people parking there?
