    A friend of mine works for Parkrite who had the contract before. He used to be warden in Newbridge/Kildare but now works in Leixlip/Celbridge since they lost the contract.

    From what i've been told they are an awful shower. They are seemingly getting more complaints than Parkrite did and have zero customer service. They are just ignorant about it. There's no talking to them.

    Now all this i'm hearing from a Parkrite point of view so how true it is i cant be 100% sure. But what i'm told is that the council aren't too happy with whats going on. They went with the cheaper option but are now being faced with disgruntled locals and a lot of complaints.

    This is silly. If you pay for your parking (and it ain't Dublin prices) then you will have no bother.

    Only people who seem exempt and allowed to park on double yellows are pikeys and taxis. The rest of us have to pay the fine and pay for our parking.

    Where did ya draw that conclusion?

    Observation. Stick your head outside Xtravision and see the taxis both sides of the road with no paid parking. Then look out for new Passats with blacked out windows, new C-class mercs, vans with gutters on top and you will see no parking ticket anywhere in town. Same cars all in Piercetown and I pass thorough it often enough to know who owns what.
