点评:Beware anyone visiting Thornbury. Parking enforcement is predatory and unfair. It is designed only to make money from tourists and part time residents. Parking rates and fines are exorbitant.
As a resident I was upset to receive a ticket at Peasemarsh and dispute it only to discover the officer did not even read my letter when he replied and denied cancelling our tickets. Pay your taxes and pay more. It appears they disdain visitors and people who are part time residents. The parking system changed in 2024 and we registered online. We were not aware you had to re-register every year as it is a new system. We received a $80 parking ticket on a Sunday at 9:50 am.
Our friends with us received the same ticket. We are both residents who pay high taxes and registered last year. We discovered they only monitor one of the two Peasemarsh parking lots. Hence people can park their RV’s for a week at the second lot, as we have seen, but residents can’t park for 45 min in the larger lot without being fined, as we were told when I questioned. We were never able to speak directly with anyone responsible for the dispute process. They all work off site. Why monitor one lot and not the other? This is what we pay our taxes for. It is very disappointing.
Think twice about visiting Thornbury.
翻译:任何前往桑伯里的人都要小心。停车执法是掠夺性的,不公平的。它的目的只有一个,就是从游客和兼职居民身上赚钱。停车费和罚款都高得离谱。
作为一名居民,我很生气在皮斯马什收到一张罚单,我提出异议后才发现,警察回复时根本没看我的信,还拒绝取消我们的罚单。交税吧,而且要多交税。看来他们瞧不起游客和兼职居民。停车系统在2024年发生了变化,我们在网上注册了。我们不知道每年都要重新注册,因为这是一个新系统。我们在周日上午9:50收到了一张80美元的停车罚单。
我们的朋友也收到了同样的罚单。我们都是缴纳高额税款的居民,去年才注册的。我们发现他们只监控皮斯马什的两个停车场中的一个。因此,正如我们所见,人们可以在第二个停车场停放房车一周,但居民却不能在更大的停车场停放45分钟,否则会被罚款,我询问时他们也这样说。我们始终没能直接联系到负责争议处理的人。他们都在场外工作。为什么只监控一个停车场而不监控另一个?这可是我们纳税的用途。这真是令人失望。
去桑伯里旅游,请三思。
