Sandbach - Car Idling
« on: 13:47:51, 27/11/22 »
https://sandbach.nub.news/news/local-news/council-considering-whether-to-implement-fines-for-car-idling-in-sandbach-160318


Cheshire East Council could soon start issuing fines to people who leave their engine idling - as a review of the policy is taking place.
Currently over 30 local authorities have adopted anti-idling enforcement legislation - however very few of those authorities have issued fines.
This could mean Sandbach residents waiting to pick people up who refuse to turn their engine off could face a £60 fine.

What are they idling for?


Waiting for a relative to be picked up,  to pick someone up from a shop or school - just start the engine up again ???

What next? Turn ignition off at traffic lights and roadworks, thieving greedy councils targeting motorists again.
