Traffic wardens issue tickets for vehicles on Daniel Day-Lewis film set (www.theguardian.com)

Day-Lewis has come out of retirement for Anemone, which his son Ronan Day-Lewis is directing, and is starring alongside Sean Bean and Samantha Morton.

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 prop vehicles parked on double yellow lines.

Pictures taken by a resident showed yellow parking tickets stuck to the windows of a number of vehicles, including a Ford Escort van, with production crew and filming equipment visible in the background. A row of late 20th-century vehicles can be seen parked along the road, where extras were reportedly being filmed for the backdrop of a scene.

I'd say because Chester is always having road closures & a production crew & big names could increase traffic to the town therefore having a positive affect on the city, but No, CwaC being as shortsighted as always fuck it up.
