A WARNING to not ignore parking fines was given at a meeting of Callington Town Council last week. Cornwall Councillor for Callington Andrew Long warned members of the public to pay parking fines when they are received after learning that some people choose to ignore them thinking that the council does not follow through with the fines. Mr Long said: 'It has come to my attention that some members of the public are ignoring parking fines when they are issued, hoping that somehow the fine will go away.' He said he was told of one case where a family ended up having to pay a lot more than the original fine. 'One family got a rude awakening last month when the bailiffs turned up to take away over £350 worth of goods due to the original fine of £60 not being paid. 'None of us like paying fines but please do not ignore them!'
