Traffic enforcers have nothing to enforce....

By Neil Speight 14th Feb 2020

THURROCK Council's traffic enforcement team turned up today to alert dodgy parkers about their misdemeanours as they drop children of at a village school.

The only problem was it's half term and the school is closed.

A resident of Hillcrest Avenue in Horndon on the Hill said: "You couldn't make it up! We have lots of traffic problems in the village, particularly because of the A13 widening project now when it's used as a rat run to avoid the roadworks, but we rarely see any traffic enforcement.

"Yet on a lovely day with no traffic, four of them are deployed to watch nothing."

A spokesperson for the school said: "It's a little unfortunate that they were there when there are no children or cars but we are grateful for the intention at least."
