Our local council introduced parking attendants ONLY
they said in the town centre. Within weeks they had realised how much money they were getting in fines and then sent them out to do anyone anywhere which includes housing estates and shopping centre car parks.
Its that lucrative for them that they are building an extra data centre for this and the soon to be chargeable bin system plus they are recruiting more staff to deal with the influx of money,Which means they intend to keep the ripoff going for as long has we have stupid people who vote for the buggers.
The same loony lib council wants to change bins to once fortnightly, Will fine you if you bin is 1 cm open on bin day. And the same councillors have just given themselves a 10% pay rise but have held there staff at 2% So you can be assured that they will be jumping on this as an extra increase in income and more ways to rip off the motorist and fund there payrises.
At the end of the day its yet another way to rip us off and extract as much money and tax out of us by any means they have.
