A 55-year-old ex-councillor from Alderley Edge has been taken to court and charged with causing an obstruction.
Marc Asquith appeared at Crewe Magistrates Court on Monday, 14th October, having been summonsed for causing a wilfull obstruction on London Road on 12th March 2013.
Mr Asquith had parked across a junction causing an obstruction and had been given a penalty ticket for the offence but he contested this.
He pleaded guilty to the offence and was fined £100 plus £400 courts costs and an additional £20 victim surcharge.
Sgt Andy Miller said "Residents of Alderley Edge are continually asking us to focus on illegal obstructions in the village as a priority issue. We will continue to tackle this issue by taking enforcement action where necessary."
In response to the charges Marc Asquith said "When NASA successfully launched a Saturn V rocket in the 1960's everyone applauded. When PCSO Newns successfully brings a parking offence to the court, Cheshire Constabulary issues a press release.
"It's correct to say that I was parked on a short section of double yellow lines outside the 'Tesco Connivance Store' for 7 minutes, as PCSO Newns wrote in his witness statement. For those who know me, this was early in 2013 when I had just been released from Macclesfield hospital after 3 weeks and being barely able to walk. In spite of knowing me well, and knowing my personal situation PCSO Newns insisted on attempting to issue a parking ticket.
"Had he followed the correct procedure he might have brought me to book within 28 days with minimal administration, rather than incompetently taking 8 months, two court hearings and the substantial time and effort of himself, 2 full time officers, a series of CPS Prosecutors and a substantial period of Cheshire East Council Officer time to produce the CCTV footage (of PCSO Newns failing to issue a valid ticket).
"The Judge was gracious in rejecting my procedural arguments after a full day in court and imposed pretty much the minimal fine she could, for which I am grateful. Good job there are no real criminals in the village."
