Figures released last week show that 13 per cent of detections were made in car parks in Enniskillen and Omagh, with Enniskillen coming off second best, incurring 2,581 Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) as against 1,313 for Omagh.
These Notices require the payment of £90 or £45 if paid within two weeks.
Of the  major towns across the north, Belfast fared worst, followed in turn by Newry (6,379), Derry (5,477), Ballymena (3,838), Lisburn (3,624), Armagh (2,747), and then Enniskillen.
But, anecdotally, it’s Enniskillen that is regarded as being ‘picked on’, a view shared by one High Street businessman
Asked if there was a need for traffic attendants in the town, he was quick to respond.
“I think the easy answer to that is ‘Yes’. There is no doubt that people take liberties on days when they are given a bit of slack, when the traffic wardens are off duty.
“But, having said that, it should be a facility for the town rather than a form of persecution. High Street businesses would very much like the red coats to be ambassadors for the town, advising people where they would be better parked.
“They should be able to identify foreign number plates and be able to step in and be an arm a round the shoulder.”
One young female motorist, who is from  Donegal and who works in the town, was hardly given that treatment.
She told the Herald how the long arm of the law, in the form of a non-payment of fine letter, landed at her home.
“I was shocked, and it wasn’t as if I ignored paying the parking fee initially. I paid £1 for 5 hours and, when I went back to  pay for more hours – I was about 20 minutes late – there was the penalty notice on the windscreen.
“Because I was from the south, I just ignored it as I thought they would not find my (home) address but, a couple of weeks later, there was a letter to my home requesting I pay the full amount, the £90 as the two weeks had elapsed.”
Fearing the fine would only go up, she paid up but, since then, she makes sure her car is safely parked out of harm’s way in a free car-park in the town.
But, the experience still rankles with her.
“No doubt about it, in Enniskillen, the traffic wardens do seem to have a reputation for heavy handiness.”
A spokesman for the Department for Infrastructure said  ‘appropriate action’ had to be taken where a vehicle is found to be parked in contravention of restrictions.
