To get extra revenue, they are putting up parking tickets and charging more to park your car.
The coalition said that they would do this over a period of years, if this is what they are doing now, what will happen in a years time - disgraceful

Arthur, before you get too far in to your usual pro labour rant, please read the article. That is *not* what the article says.
The article is saying that Haringey council has announced all these cuts, but by trimming it *own* expenses (for taxes and catering specifically), it could save enough money to maintain a lot of front line services.
Still,that is what Labour councils seem to do. When asked to cut, they are happy to cut front line services, and, indeed, make a big fuss of how they are being forced to, while ensuring that they themselves are still protected, and any friends they may have are also protected.
