I AM writing this letter to express my anger on parking meters in and around the town.

Bolton Council are not giving a legitimate service, as I have been duped again for my change -- which none of these machines give. It frustrates me to think how many other people are being conned as well.

I would cringe to know how much money they make over a year. The Council are laughing all the way to the bank. I think it's time we Boltonians stuck up for our rights and are not fobbed off by these fat cats who lay these parking laws down and have the nerve to rip us all off right in front of our noses.

I will never put my money in these machines again. But, then again, I may get a hefty fine. So now you know they've won -- both ways.
