The commencing of the fines has begun in Cobourg.
As of the Victoria Day long weekend, law-enforcement (by-law) officers are starting to ticket vehicles around the harbour area
A number of vehicles by the harbour received the $160 fine for illegally parking on Monday, May 22, 2023.
Two people from Port Hope were shocked to find a ticket on the windshield of their vehicle as they exited a local restaurant.
“Very ticked,” said the passenger.
“That’s a huge scam. How are you going to charged $160.00 when they are $25.00 in Toronto.”
