ON Attending a skittles game on a damp Friday evening recently in Ashford Road, I was amazed and annoyed to witness the traffic warden booking vehicles after 9pm.

I know Swindon Council views the motorist as easy prey its coffers must be bursting!

Also, it is no wonder motorists take a dim view of the wardens when, in these dark evenings, motorists struggle to find enough parking in Old Town's crowded streets,

No one is safe from Swindon Council but it would do better to fund a scheme to make the town's streets safer after dark.

Maybe traffic wardens could be trained to patrol our dangerous streets in the gloom instead of taking advantage of vehicle owners.
