Title: Councils' war on motorists...
Post by: Nickbat on 16 November 2011, 16:02:32

Actually, it's more a case of simple mugging.


"Capped and cut back, local councils can't raise money by any other means, so it's no surprise they pick on car drivers"

"For most of the past decade Westminster has raised more from parking on its streets than it has from council tax. It is a parking corporation (privatised to a company called NSL) with a local council attached. Its home guard is composed of traffic wardens, who outnumber police on the streets."

There will be more to come - of that, I have no doubt.
