A Cornwall Council worker has sparked complaints after a passer-by snapped him flouting the rules by parking his van on double yellow lines.
Jase Smale saw the council van parked near the Scrubb Inn Laundrette on Plain-An-Gwarry Road in Redruth last Tuesday morning.
Incensed by the blatant disregard for the Council enforced system, Mr Smale from St Austell tweeted the West Briton and said, "one rule for one and one rule for the rest."
After a week of trying to get a response from Cornwall Council, the unitary authority issued the following statement today.
"Cornwall Council employees, unless they are carrying out some statutory and common law duties, should use designated parking areas.
"In this case the employee was carrying out an urgent home adaptation request which required him to unload specialist equipment. He has been reminded of the Council's policy."
Do you think Cornwall Council employees should have the right to park on double yellow lines?
