Here's the most ridiculous thing I've heard for a while. I received a phone call this morning from the council in reply to my report of the nutcase who parked his motor scooter in the entrance of our local Woolies. In this shopping centre, there are two carparks, separated by the entry road. One is controlled by the council, the one in front of Woolies is controlled by Woolies.
The council can't fine the guy because it was in the Woolies carpark. Woolies don't have the ability to issue a fine. The police say they don't have authority as it is private land. So the dickhead gets away with it.
The demolished service station was pulled down about 5 years ago and has remained vacant land ever since.
