• More than 100 lorries were "booked" for illegal parking in the London Borough of Haringey when a party of 25 Tory councillors this week conducted a "Ban the Lorry Dayblitz.
Haringey is the first London borough to have the power to prohibit lorries from night parking in the streets, having won this right after a three-year campaign which ended in its Parliamentary Bill being passed last year.
Cllr Rigby said: "We don't know yet whether anyone will be prosecuted or if
and his colleagues toured the streets taking the number of vehicles and the names of their operators, which will be reported to the borough engineer.
Cllr Peter Rigby, leader of Haringey Conservative Opposition, explained how he they will simply be warned.
