Milan council urges return of paper parking-ticket notices
Milan’s city council approved a motion urging a return of paper parking-ticket notices on car windshields.
The notices disappeared over the years as digital notifications replaced them.
The motion asks the mayor and city government to consider using paper notices alongside digital ones, because councillors say digital notices have had less deterrent effect.
It was linked to a measure introducing Tasers for local police.
The motion also calls for psychological support for officers and more even checks in nightlife areas.
It directs the police commander to begin, within 30 days, checks of businesses displaying or selling weapons without the proper licence.
