Chatham bus bus station, which more than 20,000 people have been fined for driving through, hit the small screen this week.

BBC One documentary Parking Mad featured the terminal on Tuesday as part of a piece on drivers who fight fines.

It followed one Saturday last summer in which motorcycle activists NoToMob descended on the bus station to tell drivers not to drive through it.

The protest, which was covered in the Medway Messenger, saw the campaigners stop an estimated £10,000 worth of fines being handed out.

Footage showed them chasing motorists down the street in a vain attempt to stop them being stung by Medway Council’s enforcement camera.

Activist Steve Baker told the documentary: “Medway are giving out nearly 500 tickets a week to motorists who are simply not seeing the signs.”

The documentary also followed the group to a parking fair, where private firms were parading new CCTV equipment for the £1bn “parking industry”.

Council parking chief Andy McGrath admitted: “We’re still issuing a significantly higher number of tickets than I would have expected.”

But he said there were 13 legal signs at the bus station, adding he didn’t want to see any motorists fined.
