[Blackpool] Parking at home bargins during LUG/Makerspace meetings

[Andy McClements]

WHS. It's not a fine and its legality is dubious.

I got caught in similar circumstances in Lancaster doing my Xmas 
shopping. I followed the published appeal procedure with support from 
information on the link bleow, and got the charge withdrawn. Bit of a 
PITA and an experience I will endeavour to avoid..
