Traffic wardens issued tickets for the background scenery vehicles on Daniel Day-Lewis film set, because the city wouldn't allow the movie production to have a permit that would shut down city streets in the area
Filming for the feature took place in Handbridge in Chester this week, but ran into some difficulties after the council declined an application for a road closure, and traffic wardens began issuing tickets for the 1980s prop vehicles parked on double yellow lines in the backdrop of a scene.
the council had decided to refuse a full road closure application as it was assessed as being too disruptive for residents, who could have been cut off because of roadworks nearby
“On the basis of the overall disruption it would cause, they said no on this occasion,” he said. “[The film company] hadn’t applied to suspend parking restrictions in that area so wardens were sent to ticket the cars in the same way they would for any vehicle.”
